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.)
