JDM A26
- Specification for Steel Pipe
1. SCOPE
JDM A26 specifies the requirements ot welded and seamless standard weight (STD), extra strong (XS), and double
extra strong (XXS) black steel pipe, and standard weight (STD) hot-dipped, zinc-coated (“galvanized”) steel pipe,
of standard dimensions conforming to ANS1/ASME B36.1 OM; and welded light wall (LW) schedule 10 black steel
pipe of dimensions conforming to ASTM Al 35.
JDM A26 steel pipe, also called “pressure pipe,” is intended for conveying liquids or gases in fluid lines with
connections by mechanical couplings or by welding. The suitability of steel pipe for various purposes is dependent
on its dimensions, properties, and conditions of service. It is not intended for use in structural amlications.
.. For
“structural pipe” see JDM A22.
2. DESIGNATIONS
Steel pipe is designated by the specification, the grade, the nominal size, and the description.
The specification and grade of steel pipe conforming to JDM A26 may be designated in one of two ways:
. by the nominal pipe size (NPS designation) and the identification of the series (weight class) and/or schedule
number.
● by the nominal pipe size (NPS designation) and the nominal wall thickness in inches.
● by the nominal outside diameter and wall thickness, in inches or millimeters.
The standard “inch nominal sizes” or “nominal pipe sizes” (NPS designations) and their nominal outside diameters
are specified in ANS1/ASME B36.1 OM.
Except for JDM A26E, the identifications of the series (weight classes), schedule numbers, and nominal wall
thicknesses are specified in ANS1/ASME B36.1 OM. For JDM A26E light wall (LW) schedule 10 pipe, the nominal
wall thicknesses are specified in ASTM Al 35.

3. REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements apply to steel pipe ordered by the JDM numbers described in Table 1.
Unless otherwise specified, the standard provisions of the latest relevant ASTM standards shall apply for all points
not taken up in this JDM specification. Supplementary and special requirements, if any, shall be as specified by
the purchaser.
The pipe shall conform to the ASTM specification and description given in Table 1. Unless otherwise specified
by the purchaser, options given in Table 1 are at the choice of the supplier.
The size of the pipe maybe designated in either US customary units or S1units. In either case, by agreement between
the purchaser and supplier, the permissible variations in dimensions and weight may be applied to the standard
nominal dimensions and weights in either US customary units or S1 units.
