The difference between schedule 10,40 and 80 stainless steel pipe is the wall thickness. Schedule 10 has the thinnest wall and schedule 80 has the thickest wall. The wall thickness varies within each schedule depending on the diameter of the steel pipe. Smaller diameters have a thinner wall. Larger diameters have a thicker wall.
Common types of stainless steel that are used in welded pipe are 304 and 316. 304 stainless steel is the most common in use. It is easily welded by most common methods as well as being corrosion resistant to many chemicals and industrial atmospheres. 316 stainless steel stands up better to corrosion and pitting. It also has a higher strength at elevated temperatures. It is most commonly used in chemical equipment and marine applications.
If you would like actual wall thicknesses, I would need to know the diameter of the pipe.
Thanks for your question. Tom
