6-inch Schedule 80 Steel Pipe Bollards
ABOUT THE 6″ SCH 80
6-inch Schedule 80 Steel Pipe Bollards boast a thick 0.432″ so they may used when extra strength is desired in a compact form. At almost 230 lbs for an 8-footer, they will require setting into place with an excavator, loader or a chain-hoist hung from a gantry. If compactness is not so important, we generally suggest moving to a thinner walled larger pipe like the 8-inch Schedule 40. The concrete does a lot of the work, and an 8-inch holds almost twice as much as the 6-inch. Also, it does a lot for strength to add a couple vertical sticks of rebar into bollard when filling with concrete.

GENERAL APPLICATIONS: The 6″ SCH 80 Pipe might be used to protect:
- Pedestrians where ever vehicles are present.
- Signs where if plowed down, could cause minor or fatal accidents
- Utilities such as fire hydrants, gas and propane tanks and electrical service boxes.
- Building entrances from errant vehicles and ram-raids. See Bollard Barriers for Store Front Protection.
AS A BARRICADE: A deep pier footing (48″) installation of the 6″ SCH 80 Pipe presents itself as a very substantial barrier to small and mid-size vehicles. Reinforcing the concrete with rebar, rebar embedding inside concrete filled bollard as well as trench installation of an array of bollards are all ways to fortify a bollard system against vehicle intrusion. But as mentioned above, you may get more benefit from a thinner-walled, larger 8-inch Schedule 40 Pipe which hold near twice the concrete and typically cost less. See Bollard Barriers for Store Front Protection.
For more certainty in the barriers stopping force, it is advised to use an impact-rated bollard system such as the C40, K4 or K12. But it is worth noting that this pipe is used in many crash-rated bollard systems that have added steel reinforcing and other steel parts that work around and within the pipe.
VARIETIES: ASTM A500 Carbon Steel Pipe is the common go-to choice for bollards. Although, it is sometimes sufficient to use a structural grade untested pipe. Of course, we also offer pipe that meets various prescribed ASTM and ASME standards. See “Pipe Varieties” below.

PIPE VARIETIES
This Pipe may be available in the following types and grades:
Electric resistance weld (ERW), seamless (SMLS), and double submerged arc weld (DSAW) in all published schedules and walls, Grades ASTM A-500 GR A & GR B, ASTM A-53 GR B, ASME SA-53 GR B, ASTM A-106 GR B, ASME SA-106 GR B, AP1 5L X-GRADES, ASTM A-252 GR 1, 2, AND 3, ASTM A-139 GR B, and ASTM A-501.
UNTESTED PIPE VARIANT
This pipe may also be available as untested pipe without an ASTM rating. It is then referred to by Diameter and Wall Thickness only; no Schedule #, Standard, XH or XXH etc. Untested pipe can be much cheaper, and is often perfectly fine for bollard applications since the testing is really about pressure testing; how much PSI the pipe can withstand when filled with a pressurized liquid or gas. Bollards are just filled with concrete, so PSI ratings are generally not applicable. Their may be a small or negligable weakness in terms of bollard strength associated with untested pipe.
