Defs are in ASTM 53 which is most likely referenced. But I agree we should always speak in schedules or wall thickness.
Don't beat up the specifiers too nuch when NFPA 11 2010 uses std. weight.

Weight Pipe Right on Thom! I have always interpreted it to mean Sch 40 & Sch 10. I can't recall ever being challenged using this as my basis for standard weight pipe.

Weight Pipe 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.)
