Urgent: Seeking help regarding pipe wall thickness issue

Thread Content

3’ carbon steel pipe, SMLS, wall thickness class SCH API. I know that API is a standard set by the American Petroleum Institute, but how can I find out what exactly this wall thickness is? Thank you!

I couldn’t find anything useful for reference in the AIP SPEC 5L standard; I hope someone experienced can give me some advice! Waiting online!

It indicates an error; please check first.

SCH is the pressure rating of the pipe, with values such as 30, 40, 80, 160, etc. The wall thickness of the pipe can be determined based on this pressure rating. It seems that your information isn’t complete; please check again.

It seems there is an error in the representation; API is merely the name of the Petroleum Institute. This pipeline should have a thickness that is not standard, so the API standards are used for its manufacturing, while the thickness is determined by the designer

The details you provided aren’t complete; for a 3-inch size, the outer diameter is 88.9, STD is 5.49, XS is 7.62, and XXS is 15.24

The information provided is incomplete; it’s difficult to determine the wall thickness! :P

Wall thickness class API. But is it necessary to provide SCH? ? How much is it? Only then can this wall thickness be determined. As mentioned above, the information is incomplete.
