measurements and wall thicknesses for each type of schedule. This chart shows the most commonly used pipe sizes and schedules along with their “true” O.D. (You can see how the schedule measurement varies among the 1-1/2 inch pipe in the “Varied IDs” chart below.) remains the same regardless of the schedule of the pipe. The measurement of a pipe’s schedule varies among pipe sizes, but the O.D. Popular schedules are Sch 5, 10, 40, and 80. Please see the following chart for outside diameters. 065 inches is “named”, or called out as, “1-1/2 inch 16 gauge tube”.Ī pipe’s proper “name” is called out by the nominal pipe size, or wall thickness.

If you convert this to inches, it looks like this:Ī tube that has an outside diameter measuring 1.5 inches and a wall thickness measuring. The most commonly requested gauges of tubing are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18 and 20. For example, the thickness for 10 gauge tube will consistently measure. The gauge measurement also remains consistent among the various tube sizes. wall thickness, whereas 20 gauge tube measures out at a. For example 10 gauge tube measures out at a. The lower the gauge number the thicker the wall thickness of the tube. Tubing comes in a variety of gauges, referring to the wall thickness. tube, you will call out for “1-1/2 inch Tube” when requesting that material. When tube is measured by the O.D., that measurement is its proper “name” and what the tube will be called out as. The most important difference between the two is the terminology used when calling out the proper “name” when referring to the size of material and wall thicknesses. Both pipe and tube have two important measurements: The outside diameter (O.D.) and the wall thickness.
