Wikify date October 2010 Iron PipeSize IPS Citation needed date December 2011 refers to an old pipe sizing system still in use by some industries, including major PVC pipe manufacturers, as well as some legacy drawings and equipment. The iron pipesize standard came into being early in the 19th century and remained in effect until after World War II. The IPS system was primarily used in the US and the United Kingdom. In the 1920s, the Copper Tube Size CTS standard was combined with the IPS standard. During the IPS period, pipes were cast in halves and welded together, and pipes dimensions were sized by reference to the inside diameters of the pipes ref http www.thomas insulation.com publications products ips cts sizinggraphic.pdf ref . The inside diameters under IPS were roughly as we know them today under the Ductile Iron Pipe Standard DIPS and NominalPipeSize NPS Standards, and some of the wall thicknesses were also retained with a different designator. In 1948, the DIPS came into effect, when greater control of a pipe s wall thickness was possible. CTS diameter always specifies the OD of a tube, where pipe diameter specifications only approximate the pipe ID for sizes of 12 inch or less, and STD wall thickness. The IPS number reference to an OD is the same as the NPS number, but the schedules were limited to Standard Wall STD , Extra Strong, XS and Double Extra Strong XXS . STD is identical to SCH 40 for NPS 1 8 to NPS 10, inclusive, and indicates .375 wall thickness for NPS 12 and larger. XS is identical to SCH 80 for NPS 1 8 to NPS 8, inclusive, and indicates .500 wall thickness for NPS 8 and larger. Different definitions exist for XXS, but it is generally thicker than schedule 160. ref http www.mcelroy.com fusion chartsreference.htm ref See also NominalPipeSizePipe fluid conveyance Sizes Pipe sizes References reflist Category Mechanical standards Category Piping ... more details

Unreferenced date May 2008 A nominal category or a nominal group is a group of objects or ideas that can be collectively grouped on the basis of shared, arbitrary characteristic. A nominal group only has members and non members. That is, nothing more can be said about the members of the group other than they are part of the group. Nominal categories cannot be numerically organized or ranked. The members of a nominal group cannot be placed in sequential, ordinal scale ordinal or ratio orders. For example race is a nominal group. A person can be a member of a certain nominal racial group, such as black, white, or Asian, or he cannot. A black person does not have more race than a white person, therefore it is impossible to order races according to any sort of mathematical logic. Another example would be words that start with the letter a There are thousands of words that start with the letter a but none have more of this nominal quality than others. Correlating two nominal categories is thus very difficult, because any relationships that occur are usually deemed to be spurious relationship spurious , and thus unimportant. For example, trying to figure out how many black people have first names starting with the letter a would be a fairly arbitrary, random exercise. Nominal categories of data are thus most commonly compared to ordinal and ratio data, to see if nominal categories play a role in determining these other factors. For example, the effect of race nominal on income ratio . Nominal variables are seldom the variables being explained by the research.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Nominal money , in economics , is the quantity of money measured in a particular currency and is directly proportional to the price level . This means, among other things, that if the price level rises by 10 , 10 more money than before is necessary in order to maintain stability. For example, if it costs 20 to buy an item, and the price level increases by 10 , the dollar amount necessary to buy the item increases by 10 in this case by 2 , which brings the total cost of the item to 22. Real money is the quantity of money measured as a constant e.g. the value of the dollar in 1997 , and it relates to Nominal money as follows Nominal money Price level Real money.

For the economics term Real vs. nominal in economics Nominal numbers sometimes called categorical numbers are numeral system numerals used for identification only. The numerical value is irrelevant, and they do not indicate quantity, rank, or any other measurement. Definition The term nominal number is quite recent and of limited use. It appears to have originated as a usage in school textbooks derived from the statistical term nominal data , defined as data indicating ... m erely statements of qualitative category of membership. This usage comes from the sense of wikt nominalnominal as name . Mathematically, nominal numbering is a one to one function mathematics function from a set of objects being named to the set of numerals it is a function because each object is assigned a numeral, and it is one to one because different objects are assigned different numerals. Nominal number can be broadly defined as any numeral used for identification, however it was assigned , or narrowly as a numeral with no information other than identification . For the purposes of naming, the term number is often used loosely to refer to any String computer science string sequence of symbols , which may not consist entirely of digits it is often alphanumeric . For instance, National Insurance number s, some driver s license numbers, and some serial number s contain letters. Use of nominal numbers Nominal refers to the use of numbers any nominal number can be used by its numerical value as an integer added to another, multiplied, compared in magnitude, and so forth but for nominal numbers these operations are not in general meaningful.

Unreferenced date December 2006 Nominal wattage is used to simplify the measurement of the efficiency of a loudspeaker . The Electrical impedance impedance of a loudspeaker varies with frequency . This means that if different sine wave tones are fed into the loudspeaker at the same voltage or the same current electricity current , the amount of electric power consumed will vary. By convention, loudspeakers are designed to generate the same sound pressure level SPL at the listener for the same voltage at varying frequencies regardless of the variation in electric power. This permits a loudspeaker to be used with an amplifier having a low internal impedance and a flat frequency response is realized for the combined amplifier loudspeaker system. However, an amplifier with a low internal impedance delivers more electrical output power when the load impedance reduces until the impedances become approximately Impedance matching matched . Such high power levels could cause damage to either the amplifier or the amplifier s power supply, or the circuit connected to the amplifier s output including ... typical music. This is called the nominal impedance . Amplifiers can therefore be safely specified to operate into a load that has this nominal impedance or higher, but not lower .

AM broadcasters are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to operate at a specific Real versus nominal value nominal power physics power , which may be and usually is different from the transmitter power output . For omnidirectional antenna non directional stations, nominal power is normally equal to the Radio frequency RF power presented to the antenna, as determined from the base electrical current current and the antenna s nominal Electrical impedance impedance at the carrier wave carrier frequency. For directional antenna directional stations, nominal power is normally equal to the RF power at the common point the point at which the transmitter output branches off into separate phasing network s for each tower . In both cases, nominal power excludes losses in transmission lines between the tower or phasor and the transmitter however, it includes losses in a resistor network used to decrease the efficiency of the antenna system. Nominal power is ultimately a historical artifact of the regulatory regime employed by the FCC prior to the 1980s. In the old system, rather than allowing licensees to choose any power level which would meet the efficiency and Interference communication interference standards for their class, stations were restricted to a small set of power levels 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000, 25000, and 50000 watt s. A station whose maximum coverage would otherwise be available at 4500 watts given a specific directional pattern and antenna system efficiency had a choice of either living with 2500 watts, or reducing the antenna efficiency to a level which would allow for 5 kW.
