Pipe5XS 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.

Pipe5XS has a 5 9/16 in. outside diameter and a 3/8 in. nominal wall.

Also known as NPS 5 pipe (5 in. nominal), Schedule 80 (XS) wall.

At 20.8 lb per foot it is one of the 3 Pipe5 sizes, which run from 14.6 to 38.6 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 7.02 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 19.5 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 9.5 in³.
