Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. This involve 'Schedule' of a pipe, which is actually the wall thickness. When pipe is sold, the 'sched' will be stated on the label as Sched 5 (for thin wall pipe) right up to Sched 80 (for thick wall. )
