| Schedule | Schedule 80 |
| Standard | ASME B36.10M (welded and seamless wrought steel pipe) |
| Outside diameter | 14.000" · 355.60 mm |
| Wall thickness | 0.750" · 19.05 mm |
| Inside diameter | 12.500" · 317.50 mm |
| Weight, plain end | 106.23 lb/ft · 158.11 kg/m |
Cross-check: the standard plain-end weight formula W = 10.6802 x t x (OD - t) gives 106.13 lb/ft here, 0.1% from the published 106.23 lb/ft. The published figure is the one printed above.
NPS 14 schedule 80 pipe measures 14.000 in (355.60 mm) across the outside with a 0.750 in wall, so the bore is 12.500 in (317.50 mm). That bore gives a flow area of 122.7 in² and holds 6.375 US gallons per foot (79.17 litres per metre). The outside diameter is 18.7 times the wall, and the steel itself has a cross-section of 31.22 in² and weighs 106.23 lb per foot plain end. One trade size up, NPS 16 in the same schedule carries 1.31 times the flow area.
Schedule 60 is the next lighter wall at NPS 14: 0.594 in, 0.156 in thinner, which opens the bore to 12.812 in and adds 5.1% to the flow area, for 20% less weight per foot.
Schedule 100 is the next heavier wall at NPS 14: 0.938 in, 0.188 in thicker, which narrows the bore to 12.124 in and cuts 5.9% from the flow area, for 23% more weight per foot.
Next trade size up in this schedule: NPS 16 schedule 80, bore 14.312 in.

Plain geometry of a hollow circle with OD = 14.000 in and ID = 12.500 in: flow area π/4·ID², metal area π/4·(OD² − ID²), moment of inertia π/64·(OD⁴ − ID⁴), section modulus I ÷ (OD/2), radius of gyration √(I ÷ metal area), capacity flow area × 12 ÷ 231 (231 in³ to the US gallon). Nominal dimensions, so mill tolerance and corrosion allowance are not included.
Nominal Pipe Size is a label, not a measurement. NPS 14 pipe has an outside diameter of 14.000 inches, and it keeps that outside diameter in every schedule made. What the schedule number changes is the wall: at schedule 80 the wall is 0.750 inches, so the bore comes out at 12.500 inches.
That is the practical consequence. Fittings, flanges, supports and threading dies are sized to the outside diameter, so they fit any schedule of the same trade size. Flow, pressure drop and anything that has to pass through the pipe depend on the inside diameter, which changes with every schedule. Order by trade size and schedule; work your hydraulics from the bore.
Same outside diameter of 14.000 inches throughout - only the wall and the bore move.

0.750 inches (19.05 mm). The outside diameter is 14.000 inches (355.60 mm) whatever the schedule, so this wall leaves an inside diameter of 12.500 inches.
12.500 inches (317.50 mm). Inside diameter is outside diameter minus twice the wall: 14.000 - 2 x 0.750 = 12.500 inches.
No. NPS 14 is a trade size, not a measurement. The pipe measures 14.000 inches across the outside and 12.500 inches across the bore in this schedule. Only the outside diameter is fixed across schedules.
106.23 pounds per foot plain end (158.11 kg per metre), for carbon steel. The figure excludes coatings, linings and fittings.
This table runs from NPS 1/8 to NPS 24 and stops there. ASME B36.10M itself continues to NPS 80; those larger sizes are not carried here, so a size above NPS 24 is missing rather than undefined.
