2. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

   For larger mechanical tubing, however, the gauge number indicates the wall thickness, independent of the tube's overall size. In medicine, the Birmingham gauge is widely used to specify the outer diameter of hypodermic needles, catheters, cannulae, and suture wires. However, catheters are more commonly defined using the French catheter gauge ...

3. Nominal Pipe Size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_Pipe_Size

   Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...

   For a tube of silicone rubber [2] with a tensile strength of 10 MPa and an 8 mm outside diameter and 2 mm thick walls. The maximum pressure may be calculated as follows: Outside diameter = 8 millimeters (0.3150 in) Wall thickness = 2 millimeters (0.07874 in) Tensile strength = 10 * 1000000

5. Pipe (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(fluid_conveyance)

   The pipe wall thickness has a variance of approximately 12.5 percent. In the rest of Europe pressure piping uses the same pipe IDs and wall thicknesses as Nominal Pipe Size, but labels them with a metric Diameter Nominal (DN) instead of the imperial NPS. For NPS larger than 14, the DN is equal to the NPS multiplied by 25.

6. Gauge (firearms) - Wikipedia

   The least popular sizes are the 10 gauge and the 16 gauge; while far less common than the other four gauges, they are still commercially available. [citation needed] [9] Shotguns and shells exceeding 10 gauge, such as the 8 gauge, 6 gauge, 4 gauge, and 2 gauge are historically important in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in mainland Europe ...

7. Standard dimension ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_dimension_ratio

   Standard dimension ratio (SDR) is a method of rating a pipe's durability against pressure. The standard dimension ratio describes the correlation between the pipe dimension and the thickness of the pipe wall. [1] Common nominations are SDR11, SDR17, SDR26 and SDR35. Pipes with a lower SDR can withstand higher pressures.
