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 only way to obtain the actual OD is to look it up in a reference table. For pipe sizes of NPS 14 inch (DN 350) and greater the NPS size is the actual diameter in inches and the DN size is equal to NPS times 25 (not 25.4) rounded to a convenient multiple of 50. For example, NPS 14 has an OD of 14 inches or 355.60 millimetres, and is ...

4. Organ flue pipe scaling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_flue_pipe_scaling

   Relationship between number of feet, octave and size of an open flue pipe (1′ = 1 foot = about 32 cm) Play ⓘ Scaling is the ratio of an organ pipe's diameter to its length. The scaling of a pipe is a major influence on its timbre. Reed pipes are scaled according to different formulas than for flue pipes.

5. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

   For a fully filled duct or pipe whose cross-section is a convex regular polygon, the hydraulic diameter is equivalent to the diameter of a circle inscribed within the wetted perimeter. This can be seen as follows: The N {\displaystyle N} -sided regular polygon is a union of N {\displaystyle N} triangles, each of height D / 2 {\displaystyle D/2 ...

6. Flow table test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_table_test

   Flow table with a grip and a hinge, 70 centimetres (28 in) square. In the American version of this test, the table is 10 inches (25 cm) diameter per ASTM C 230.; Abrams cone, open at the top and at the bottom - 30 centimetres (12 in) high, 17 centimetres (6.7 in) top diameter, 25 centimetres (9.8 in) base diameter.

7. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

   1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm – edge of a cube of volume 1 mL; 1 cm – length of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile

8. Orifice plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orifice_plate

   Orifice plate showing vena contracta. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in it, which is usually placed in a pipe. When a fluid (whether liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice [1] but as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases and the fluid pressure decreases.

9. 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 ...
