Pipe16STD pipe

Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.

Pipe16STD has a 16 in. outside diameter and a 3/8 in. nominal wall.

Also known as NPS 16 pipe (16 in. nominal), standard weight (STD) wall.

At 62.6 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 2 Pipe16 sizes, which run from 62.6 to 82.9 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 65.9 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 527 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 85.7 in³.
