Nominal Pipe Size

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for
high or low pressures and temperatures.[1] 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. NPS is often incorrectly called National
Pipe Size, due to confusion with national pipe thread (NPT). The European designation
equivalent to NPS is DN (diamètre nominal/nominal diameter), in which sizes are
measured in millimetres.[2] The term NB (nominal bore) is also frequently used
interchangeably with NPS.

[edit] History
In March 1927, the American Standards Association authorized a committee to
standardize the dimensions of wrought steel and wrought iron pipe and tubing. At that
time only a small selection of wall thicknesses were in use: standard weight (STD), extra-
strong (XS), and double extra-strong (XXS), based on the iron pipe size (IPS) system of
the day. However these three sizes did not fit all applications. The committee surveyed
the industry and created a system of schedule numbers that designated wall thicknesses
based on smaller steps between sizes,[3] although IPS and NPS numbers remain
equivalent.

The original intent was that each schedule would relate to a given pressure rating,
however the numbers deviated so far from wall thicknesses in common use that this
original intent could not be accomplished.[3][4] Also, in 1939, it was hoped that the
designations of STD, XS, and XXS would be phased out by schedule numbers, however
those original terms are still in common use today (although sometimes referred to as
standard, extra-heavy (XH), and double extra-heavy (XXH), respectively). Since the
original schedules were created, there have been many revisions and additions to the
tables of pipe sizes based on industry use and on standards from API, ASTM, and
others.[3]

Stainless steel pipes, which were coming into more common use in the mid 20th century,
permitted the use of thinner pipe walls with much less risk of failure due to corrosion. By
1949 thinner schedules 5S and 10S, which were based on the pressure requirements
modified to the nearest BWG number, had been created, and other "S" sizes followed
later. Due to their thin walls, the smaller "S" sizes can not be threaded together according
to ASME code, but must be fusion welded.[5]

[edit] Application
Based on the NPS and schedule of a pipe, the pipe outside diameter (OD) and wall
thickness can be obtained from reference tables such as those below, which are based on
ASME standards B36.10M and B36.19M. For example, NPS 14 Sch 40 has an OD of
14 inches and a wall thickness of 0.437 inches. However the NPS and OD values are not
always equal, which can create confusion.

 For NPS ⅛ to 12 inches, the NPS and OD values are different. For example, the
OD of an NPS 12 pipe is actually 12.75 inches. To find the actual OD for each
NPS value, refer to the tables below. (Note that for tubing, the size is always the
actual OD.)
 For NPS 14 inches and up, the NPS and OD values are equal. In other words, an
NPS 14 pipe is actually 14 inches OD.

The reason for the discrepancy for NPS ⅛ to 12 inches is that these NPS values were
originally set to give the same inside diameter (ID) based on wall thicknesses standard at
the time. However, as the set of available wall thicknesses evolved, the ID changed and
NPS became only indirectly related to ID and OD.

For a given NPS, the OD stays fixed and the wall thickness increases with schedule. For a
given schedule, the OD increases with NPS while the wall thickness stays constant or
increases. Using equations and rules in ASME B31.3 Process Piping, it can be shown that
pressure rating decreases with increasing NPS and constant schedule.[4]

Some specifications use pipe schedules called standard wall (STD), extra strong (XS),
and double extra strong (XXS), although these actually belong to an older system called
iron pipe size (IPS). The IPS number is the same as the NPS number. STD is identical to
SCH 40S, and 40S is identical to 40 for NPS 1/8 to NPS 10, inclusive. XS is identical to
SCH 80S, and 80S is identical to 80 for NPS 1/8 to NPS 8, inclusive. XXS wall is thicker
than schedule 160 from NPS 1/8" to NPS 6" inclusive, and schedule 160 is thicker than
XXS wall for NPS 8" and larger.

The "S" designation, for example "NPS Sch 10S", most often indicates stainless steel
pipes. However some stainless steel pipes are available in steel designations, so strictly
speaking the "S" designation only differentiates B36.19M pipe from B36.10M pipe.[1]

Both polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride pipe (CPVC) are
made in NPS sizes.
