What pressure can schedule 10 stainless steel pipe?

The pressure rating for Schedule 10 stainless steel pipe varies depending on the pipe's material, diameter, and temperature. However, to give a general idea:

Material: Schedule 10 pipes are commonly made from 304 or 316 stainless steel.
Diameter: The pressure capacity decreases as the diameter of the pipe increases.


For example, a 1-inch Schedule 10 stainless steel pipe made of 304 stainless steel can typically handle about 160 psi at room temperature (around 70°F or 21°C). On the other hand, a 4-inch Schedule 10 stainless steel pipe might handle around 35 psi at the same temperature.
