What is nominal pressure?

Nominal, in this context, refers to the "face value". So in this case it means what the gauge "face" is indicating. Also called gauge pressure. The difference between nominal pressure and actual pressure depends on whether gauge is a calibrated instrument and is indicating the actual pressure.Nominal pressure means rated pressure, that is a nominal pressure rating applied to vehicle parts.Scroll down to related links and look at "Definition of nominal pressure".

bore of the pipe is the internal diameter of pipe but the nominal diameter of pipe is the dia of a circle which is draw through a point which is situates at exactly half of the thickness of pipe or we can say that (outer dia of pipe- thickness of pipe )=nominal bore of pipe.


What is the potential difference between earth wire and live wire?

In formal electrical jargon, "potential difference" describes voltage. So a 120 V live wire should have a 120 V potential to the earth wire.AnswerIt depends where you live. In Europe, the nominal potential difference between a line and earth conductor is approx 230 V (approximately, because earth potential might be a little lower than the neutral potential); for North America, the nominal potential difference is about 120 V.
