Pipe2STD 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.

Pipe2STD has a 2 3/8 in. outside diameter and a 1/8 in. nominal wall.

Also known as NPS 2 pipe (2 in. nominal), Schedule 40 (STD) wall.

At 3.66 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 6 Pipe2 sizes, which run from 3.66 to 13.7 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 0.528 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 0.627 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 0.713 in³.
