  2. National pipe thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread

    Because of the pipe wall thickness of Schedule pipe, the actual diameter of the NPT threads is larger than the Nominal Pipe Size diameter, and considerably so for small sizes. Pipe of a given size in a different Schedule than Schedule 40 provides a different wall thickness while maintaining the same outside diameter and thread profile as ...

  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 ...

  4. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

    Below is a comprehensive drill and tap size chart for all drills and taps: Inch, imperial, and metric, up to 36.5 millimetres (1.44 in) in diameter. In manufactured parts, holes with female screw threads are often needed; they accept male screws to facilitate the building and fastening of a finished assembly.

  5. Real versus nominal value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_size

    The metric size is larger than the imperial size. For example, both 12 inch and 15 millimetres (0.59 in) copper pipe is actually the same pipe which has a nominal internal diameter of 12 an inch and a nominal external diameter of 15 millimetres (diameter is always internal in the imperial measurement system and always external in metric).

  6. Iron pipe size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_pipe_size

    During the IPS period, pipes were cast in halves and welded together, and pipe sizes referred to the inside diameters. [1] The inside diameters under IPS were roughly the same as the more modern Ductile Iron Pipe Standard (DIPS) and Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) Standards, and some of the wall thicknesses were also retained with a different designator.

  7. Organ flue pipe scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_flue_pipe_scaling

    Since varying the diameter of a pipe in direct proportion to its length (which means it varies by a factor of 1:2 per octave) caused the pipes to narrow too rapidly, and keeping the diameter constant (a factor of 1:1 per octave) was too little, the correct change in scale must be between these values.

  8. Preferred metric sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_metric_sizes

    Shelf where the shelf bearing holes are placed with 32 mm distances from center to center, giving flexible choices for shelve positioning.. System 32 is a standard for the design and manufacture of furniture, most commonly used in the design of cabinets, wherein the major parts (sides, doors, etc.) are available in increments of 32 mm, and shelf supports consist of columns of 5 mm holes on 32 ...

  9. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

    a cylindrical ring of steel whose inside diameter is finished to gauge tolerance and is used for checking the external diameter of a cylindrical object. Strain gauge: a device used to measure the strain of an object. Thread pitch gauge, also called a threading gauge, pitch gauge, or screw gauge a device used to measure the pitch or lead of ...
