Pipe5STD 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.

Pipe5STD has a 5 9/16 in. outside diameter and a 1/4 in. nominal wall.

Also known as NPS 5 pipe (5 in. nominal), Schedule 40 (STD) wall.

At 14.6 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 3 Pipe5 sizes, which run from 14.6 to 38.6 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 5.14 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 14.3 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 6.83 in³.
