Default load for steel pipe

Trey Thames wrote:
I am going to be hanging cast iron skillets from a 1" x 5' black steel pipe (see link from Hope Depot below). It will be supported on either end by 4"x4"x5' wood supports. I will probably be hanging about 40 cast iron skillets which may weigh about 200-300 lbs. Will this pipe support this weight?

Thanks!

No problem. 1" gas pipe is about 1-1/4" diameter and quite sturdy. 2-300
pound, distributed static load is nothing.
