Steel pipe standards in the Philippines.

Use this reference to understand how common PNS, ASTM, and AWWA standards relate to steel pipe dimensions, materials, and applications. Confirm the applicable edition and project specification before selecting or ordering a pipe.

Philippine National Standard

PNS 2145:2020

Covers lightweight structural steel tubes for fencing, framing and fabrication. These tubes are not intended for water service.

ASTM International

ASTM A252

Covers welded and seamless steel pipe piles. The project specification must confirm the grade, dimensions, fabrication, testing, and installation requirements.

ASTM International

ASTM A139

Covers electric-fusion arc-welded steel pipe. The project specification determines the grade, dimensions, joints and tests required for the job.

American Water Works Association

AWWA C200

Covers steel water pipe 6 inches and larger for water transmission and distribution. Project documents determine the required class, coating, lining, fabrication, and testing.

Check tolerances and coating requirements by product.

Diameter, wall-thickness and galvanized-coating requirements depend on the product, size and standard edition. Ask our technical team which tolerances and measurement methods apply to the pipe in your specification.

Use pipe formulas and conversions correctly.

Keep every value with its source unit and rounding rule. Do not estimate weight or inside diameter from nominal size alone.

Common dimensional conversions
Length1 ft = 0.3048 m
Dimension1 in = 25.4 mm
Mass1 lb = 0.45359237 kg
Calculation basisUse confirmed outside diameter and wall thickness from the applicable standard and product table.
