Schedule 40 Steel Pipe...axial capacity??
(OP)
I have a contractor looking to use 2" dia. schedule 40 pipe for a short post in a crawlspace. I was not able to find any tables online regarding allowable loads for said pipe. Any ideas where to look? Thank you.

In general, a short, 2" dia. sched. 40 pipe will have a relatively high capacity. Also check to make sure the bearing plates top and bottom do not overstress the materials they contact....and yes, you must have bearing plates.

Hardware stores have a "standard" adjustable screw-thread cap for 4 inch diameter pipes. Hint, hint. (I use 4 inch pipes for my basement supports at 7 foot length.)

Notwithstanding, a concentric load of 1500 lbs. should be easily handled by a 2" pipe over a length of 5'-6".
