The American ( ANSI/ASME/API ) standard, which is in imperial units, and the European ( DIN ) system, which is in metric units, are the two most prevalent Stainless Steel Pipe Size Standards. The Stainless Steel Pipe diameter is known as "Nominal Pipe Size" ( NPS ) or "Nominal Bore" in the American system ( NB ). It is known as the "Nominal Diameter" in the European system ( DN ).
The Stainless Steel Pipe Size ( IPS ) System gave rise to pipe schedules and Nominal Pipe Size ( NPS ). This technique of sizing created numbers to indicate the approximate dimensions of Stainless Steel Pipe Standard Weight Chart. Pipe makers produced piping with a very uniform thickness in the early days of the IPS.
