Metric Pipe Sizes Dn "Diametre Nominel" per ISO vs NPS "Nominal Pipe Size" Equivalent for DN 6 to DN 2200, NPS Schedule 5 to 30. Welded and Seamless PIpe

NPS is often incorrectly called National Pipe Size, due to confusion with the American standard for pipe threads, "national pipe straight", which also abbreviates as "NPS". The European and international designation equivalent to NPS is DN (diamètre nominal/nominal diameter/Nennweite), in which sizes are measured in millimetres, see ISO 6708. [2]

ISO 6708 defines the nominal size - DN - as an alphanumeric designation of size for reference purposes. It comprises the letters DN followed by a dimensionless whole number which is indirectly related to the physical size in millimetres of the bore (ID) or outside diameter (OD) of the end connections.

Nominal pipe size or NPS is an American standard of pipe size used for different piping systems. This measures and indicate pipe size in “INCH”. Nominal pipe size refers only to the outside diameter, i.e. OD of the pipe. For Example: When someone says 6 NPS, this refers to a pipe having a 6.625-inch outer diameter of the pipe.

Oct 10, 2022 · Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is based on inches and is listed throughout ASME piping standards. eg. ASME B36.10M "Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe" Diametre Nominal (DN) is based on millimetres and is standardized in ISO 6708 "Pipework components - Definition and selection of DN (nominal size)"

1 day ago · The measure units is the key difference between NPS and DN. Inch is used in NPS, but DN always use millimeter. NPS using inch as units, appears in ANSI/ASME standard in the USA.In Europe standard of ISO 6708, specified DN uses millimeters as the pipe diameter.

Consult a pipe sizing chart to determine the nearest DN or NPS value. Finding the size of a female pipe fitting is much simpler, and only requires a ruler and a calculator. Measure the inside diameter of the pipe across the opening.

Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. Pipe size is specified with two non-dimensional numbers: a nominal pipe size (NPS) for diameter based on inches, and a schedule (Sched. or Sch.) for wall thickness.
