Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures.

For pipe sizes less than NPS 14 inch (DN 350), both methods give a nominal value for the OD that is rounded off and is not the same as the actual OD. For example, NPS 2 inch and DN 50 are the same pipe, but the actual OD is 2.375 inches or 60.33 millimetres. The only way to obtain the actual OD is to look it up in a reference table.
The key standard is ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 "Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch)". Table 2 of that reference calls for 3 threads of make-up from hand-tight for pipes 2" and under (nominal), and 2 threads for pipes with nominal sizes over 2 inches. --WaldorfSalad 19:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
