Silt in pipes is caused by solids suspended in liquids, that are flushed through the drainage system, settling in the pipe-work. This can be caused if there is a lot of solid matter flushed through the pipe system or if the flow is too slow or has too many turns causing the flow to been restricted (which in turn allows the solid particles held within it time to fall to the low point in the pipe).
De-silting is carried out through either high pressure jetting or exposing the affected pipe-work and physically cleaning out.
Silting can occur in other pipe systems, as well as drains, but depends on what the Plumbing system is carrying. Hard water areas (high level on degrees Clarke) may need acid descale etc.

What is difference between nominal diameter of a pipe and bore of pipe and also defined the nominal diameter of pipe and tube how you differentiate both?
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.
