    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. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    The Charrière is measured by the ''outer'' diameter, and is defined as 1 Fr = 1/3 mm, and thus 1 mm = 3 Fr; therefore the diameter of a round catheter in millimetres can be determined by dividing the French size by 3. [2] The French units roughly correspond to the outer circumference of the catheter (see table below).

    So a 1 / 2 in (12.7 mm) diameter drill will be able to drill a hole 4 + 1 / 2 in (114.3 mm) deep, since it is 9 times the diameter in length. A 1 / 8 in (3.175 mm) diameter drill can drill a hole 1 + 5 / 8 in (41.275 mm) deep, since it is 13 times the diameter in flute length. [3]
