Pipe26STD 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.

Pipe26STD has a 26 in. outside diameter and a 3/8 in. nominal wall.

Also known as NPS 26 pipe (26 in. nominal), standard weight (STD) wall.

At 103 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 2 Pipe26 sizes, which run from 103 to 136 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 178 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 2320 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 230 in³.
