RE: pipe schedules and wall thicknesses
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

They could just as easily specify "SCH XXX minimum"...

That said, I generally use schedule instead:)

Oilfield applications are typically nominal OD and wall weight. Valves use piping schedule as do plants and mainline transportation systems. Pretty much all the same, some variance due to commercial availability and desired material needed to custom suit the application.
