Carbon Steel Pipe
A 3/8″ SCH 40 Carbon Steel Pipe refers to a specific type of pipe made from carbon steel with a nominal diameter of 3/8 inches and a schedule (wall thickness) of 40. The term “SCH” stands for schedule, which is a standardized system used to specify the wall thickness of pipes. In this case, SCH 40 indicates a medium wall thickness. Carbon steel is a common material choice for pipes due to its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. This particular pipe size is relatively small and typically used in applications that require moderate fluid flow or gas transport.
