2. 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 ...

3. Pipe (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

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

   The history of copper pipe is similar. In the 1930s, the pipe was designated by its internal diameter and a 1 ⁄ 16-inch (1.6 mm) wall thickness. Consequently, a 1-inch (25 mm) copper pipe had a 1 + 1 ⁄ 8-inch (28.58 mm) outside diameter. The outside diameter was the important dimension for mating with fittings. The wall thickness on modern ...

4. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   Piping or tubing is usually inserted into fittings to make connections. Connectors are assigned a gender, abbreviated M or F. An example of this is a "3 ⁄ 4-inch female adapter NPT", which would have a corresponding male connection of the same size and thread standard (in this case also NPT).

5. United States customary units - Wikipedia

   Nominal Pipe Size is used for the outside diameter of pipes. Below NPS14, the NPS number is not consistent with the pipe diameter in inches. Copper tubing, however, is measured in nominal size, 1 ⁄ 8 inch less than the outside diameter. The Schedule system is used for standard pipe thicknesses.

6. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

   Submergence transitions for Parshall flumes range from 50% (1–3-inch sizes) to 80% (10–50-foot sizes), [12] beyond which point level measurements must be taken at both the primary and secondary points of measurement, and a submergence correction must be applied to the flow equations. The secondary point of measurement (Hb) for a Parshall ...

7. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

   This material which must have started out like unfired pottery was slip cast from fused silica. Then it was dried four days at 333 K before being tested. It was 9 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick, density 1.78 ⋅ cm −3. The first run went to 1317K and then on the second run the same insulator proved to be more conductive. 1959. [110 ...
