Regarding the Stanwell shape numbers and designs, there are several problems that are encountered when creating a list of such. The first is that Stanwell has, at different times in its long history as a pipe manufacturer, used the same shape number for different pipe designs. It is not uncommon to find the same shape number used for two very different designs by two different designers (such as Sixten Ivarsson's and Anne Julie's version of the '35'), or by the same designer (such as both '01' designs by Sixten Ivarsson). There are also recorded instances where a shape number has been used for three, or even four, different designs. In the following list, these different designs for the same shape number are recorded alphabetically (a), b), etc.), but on the pipes themselves, only the shape number is featured. Where possible, the designers of a given shape number, or shape number variant, have been listed. Additionally, dates for when a shape was first produced or exhibited in a catalog have, where possible, been included. Due to the difficulties in finding documented evidence on Stanwell pipe production, the information on designers and dates recorded here should not be considered exhaustive. | Regarding the Stanwell shape numbers and designs, there are several problems that are encountered when creating a list of such.

As for the descriptions of each design, care has been taken to strike a balance between simplicity, accuracy, and generality. Stanwell pipe designs from the 1950s onwards are often significantly distinct from those of traditional European shape charts, which leads to difficulties in finding the appropriate language to describe a given Stanwell pipe. The list is currently undergoing revision in order to standardize the syntax and terminology employed for easier use by readers.
