Stainless Steel Pipe<br />
The common schedules of stainless steel pipe are 5S,<br />
10S, 40S, and 80S. Table 5-2 is a complete chart of<br />
stainless steel pipe schedules and other important data.<br />
Stainless pipe is commonly referred <strong>to</strong> and described by<br />
size, schedule, and the wall thickness. Weight per foot is<br />
seldom mentioned.<br />
Example: 8-in. S/10S .109" WT.<br />
8-in. S/40S .322" WT.<br />
1-in. S/80S .179" WT.<br />
Care of Stainless Steel Pipe<br />
Extra care of stainless steel pipe during the entire cy-<br />
cle of receipt, s<strong>to</strong>rage, fabrication, and shipment is a re-<br />
quirement that cannot be over emphasized. Stainless<br />
pipe has a finished surface and thin walls. Pipe should<br />
be s<strong>to</strong>red indoors, if possible, and on carpet-covered<br />
pipe racks.<br />
The pipe should be s<strong>to</strong>red by type, size and schedule.<br />
Suitable dunnage should be used between each layer of<br />
pipes.<br />
Nylon slings, not chains or cable slings, should be<br />
used <strong>to</strong> handle the pipe. A special protective harness is<br />
available for use when shipping stainless pipe for protec-<br />
tion from damage, which can be caused by chains and<br />
binders.<br />
Stainless pipe should never be dropped or bumped<br />
against other joints, cr~x~ continued on page 118)<br />
