    What Is Difference Between Pipe Rating and Pipe Schedule

    Pipe schedule refers to the thickness of the pipe wall, with higher schedule numbers indicating thicker walls. Pipe rating refers to the maximum pressure and temperature a pipe can withstand based on the material and any applicable codes or standards. A Sch 80 pipe, which has a thicker wall than standard schedule pipes, is available in pressure classes of 150, 300, and 600, with the higher classes allowing for higher maximum pressures. The pipe schedule does not directly determine the pressure rating, which depends more on the material and design conditions.

    What is difference between pipe rating
    and pipe schedule?
    for eg: The pipe of Sch 80, is it available in class of # 150, # 300, #
    600 ?? If available so, then what is difference between Pipe of Sch 80
    # 150, Sch 80 # 300 & Sch 80 # 600 ...show more

    Class ratings of 150#, 300# and 600# refers to ANSI flange ratings and
    not pipe ratings. In the case of flanges these ratings state the maximum
    pressure you can use them for at a various temperatures.
    Pipe schedules merely state the wall thickness of various pipes by size.
    It has nothing to do with the rating or amount of pressure they are
    intended to withstand.
    Note in both cases the amount of pressure should be limited to is based
    the material they are manufactured from and the temperature they will
    be subjected to. The other factor in the rating is the code to which the
    piping system is being designed.
    You should also note that a 6 inch schedule 40 steel pipe can be used
    to a greater pressure than a 12 inch schedule 40 steel pipe of the same
    grade.

    Have to disagree with some of OFT's answer:
    Class ratings of 150#, 300# and 600# refers to ANSI flange ratings and
    not pipe ratings. In the case of flanges these ratings state the maximum
    pressure you can use them for at a various temperatures.
    +++ The number is the pressure rating for a flange made of CAST IRON.
    For flanges made of different materials, eg, CS, SS, etc, they can be
    used at a greater pressure. If made of plastic, a lower number. The Class
    number specifies dimensions and bolt pattern, nothing more.
    Pipe schedules merely state the wall thickness of various pipes by size.
    It has nothing to do with the rating or amount of pressure they are
    intended to withstand.
    +++ A thicker walled pipe can obviously take higher pressure, but the
    schedule number is not related in any simple and direct way to the
    pressure rating.
    Nominal 1" pipe of different schedules will have the same OD, but varying
    ID [higher schedules have smaller ID]. This can be a problem, in that you
    cannot tell by looking at assembled pipe what schedule it is; some idiot
    might have used thinner pipe than specified.
    Pressure ratings come as a temperature/pressure pair; a pipe good for
    1000 PSI at RT will be good for much less at 500F.
    The pressure rating falls as the temperature increases, as the metal
    loses strength. Obviously something like incolloy will lose strength more
    slowly with temperature.
    Also, temperatures significantly below RT can embrittle various
    materials; do not use the RT pressure rating at cryogenic temperatures.
