i live in norway and we got PN ratings.
the thing i have a problem with is that when people are making things out of steel like a hybrid.

to bring it up a understandable way:
if i make a thread that is about what the minimum for a steel hybrid is, everyone says i am fine with a SCH 40 pipe but that is the same as asking a dog for the answer for me.

what i want to know if the wall thickness of steel pipes. from 0" SCH0 to 8" SCH160. that means that if you got a steel pipe that you know the diameter and SCH rating of you can post like this " 3" SCH 40 has a wall thickness of ....."
if every member that has a steel pipe lying around gives me that information i can write it down and use it later. i think i can get pretty many diameters and SCH ratings from everyone


THANKS

This link has some good info.

hmmm PN is a pressure number.. I don't think it is the same thing as for example SCH40 becase PN is only a pressure rating while SCH refers to size (wall thickness) of pipes

do I get it right?

Yeah POLAND is right, but the higher the PN the larger the thickness.
I'd say PN15 is a minimum for a hybrid, but i'd try and get PN18 or PN21 if you can.

At 10X you'd want atleast PN18. PN12 and PN15 would be fine for 6x and under.

At 10X you'd want atleast PN18. PN12 and PN15 would be fine for 6x and under.

PN18 = 18 bar pressure rating, ~54 bar burst pressure
PN21 = 21 bar pressure rating, ~ 63 bar burst pressure
Adiabatic 10x propane air = ~90 bar

You may run into a small problem involving copious amounts of concussion and shrapnel if you follow that advice...

And spudfarm, I'll send you a link on MSN that shows the wall thicknesses of pipes from 1/8" SCH 10 to 24" XXS, and up to 48" SCH 80, all on one convenient chart.

Just occurred to me I don't know the metal rating in metric, I instinctively wrote those as PVC ratings.

I'm not even sure if I've seen metal pipe rated in the PN system...

valves and fittings have PN ratings... steel pipes usually don't have it written on them or you have to find it on manufacturer's site

don't think of the PN. just give me some walls at SCH ratings and i can messure on my pipes as a comparison.
