    Pipe schedules are a measure of pipe wall thickness. These requirements exist due to specific factors within certain applicable systems. Predominately, where pressures are higher, the schedule #, or actual wall thickness, is greater, to withstand the internal pressure of whatever liquid or gas is passing through. Schedule 10 wall thickness is thinner than Schedule 40 wall thickness.
