Nominal diameter (or nominal diameter), also known as average outer diameter, refers to the size of all piping accessories in the piping system. The nominal diameter is a convenient round integer for reference. The nominal diameter of the valve is marked with a number followed by the letter DN. DN represents the internal diameter of the pipe in millimeters. For example, DN50 is 50 millimeters. The American standard valve is usually expressed in inches (“), and the fractional valve is to express the internal diameter of the pipe in inches. The conversion formula is 1”=25.4mm, such as 8” is equivalent to the domestic DN200mm.

Valve nominal diameter comparison table:
The nominal diameter of the valve (NPS-NOMINAL PIPE SIZE) is not necessarily the same as the diameter of the flow channel. For the selection of its size, the required Cv value is calculated from the conditions of the conveying fluid, and then the Cv value (refer to the manufacturer’s catalog) is used to select a suitable valve The nominal diameter (NPS) is the nominal inner diameter that characterizes the valve diameter. The national standard is expressed by DN and the unit is mm. The American standard is expressed in inches. The conversion relationship between inch NPS and metric DN is as follows:
