Just from the answers you've received I say they make my point that Standard
weight is ill defined, and in the mind of the beholder. Look at all of the
differences in the answers! Who's right? All of them! And none of them, or
more appropriately more than all of them. Any reasonable interpretation.
(Specific to military, they define what standard weight pipe is in their
general material standards, so if this is gov. spec. they should list
additional standards as ref.)

Subject: Re: Std. Weight Pipe

Standard weight is typically schd 40 up to 6". Standard weight 6" + is
steed 30. Anything less is lightweight (schd 5, 7, 10 & lightweight
thread-able (schd 30 under 6")  and anything more is heavy weight
(schd 80 & 120).
