(of a price, consideration, etc.) named as a mere matter of form, being trifling in comparison with the actual value; minimal. of, relating to, or constituting a name or names.Thu, 16 Apr 2026 22:54:00 GMThttps://english.stackexchange.com/questions/184876/how-did-nominal-come-to-mean-within-acceptable-tolerancesThe aeronautical sense of nominal derives from engineering where the nominal value is the specified dimension and the reference point for tolerances. The Free Dictionary offers the following definition (from McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific & Technical Terms, 6th edition) for tolerance: (engineering) A permissible deviation from a specified value, expressed in actual values or more often ...Mon, 20 Apr 2026 18:17:00 GMThttps://www.eng-tips.com/threads/development-and-lap-length-of-rebar-is-db-nominal-or-actual-diameter.450247/The nominal dia of a 10M bar is 10 mm. The actual diameter is 11.3 mm. The development length is a multiple of the diameter, so it is more conservative to use the actual dia. In other bar sizes, it is more conservative for 25M, 30M, 45M, but less conservative for 20M, 35M and 55M, although the differences are quite small, except for the 10M where it is significant.Sun, 19 Apr 2026 22:29:00 GMThttps://www.eng-tips.com/threads/b31-1-b31-3-nominal-material-thickness-for-slip-on-flanges.454941/Hello, I have searched and read past posts but did not find any related to the specifics of my following topic. ASME B31.1 and B31.3 PWHT exemptions reference nominal material thicknesses when determining if PWHT is mandatory. Their definitions of nominal material thickness are listed below...Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:00:00 GMThttps://www.eng-tips.com/threads/nominal-moment-strength-amp-plastic-moment-capacity.188719/The nominal moment strength is whatever we choose; we define it to be what we want, feel safe using, calculated or arrived at empirically. So in this case we're saying that the highest load the rectangular section bent about its minor axis can take is equal to the plastic moment. That is being defined as the nominal moment.Fri, 17 Apr 2026 09:03:00 GMThttps://english.stackexchange.com/questions/590302/using-nominal-in-software-engineeringNominal means, in reference to launch vehicle performance, trajectory, or stage impact point, a launch vehicle flight where all vehicle aerodynamic parameters are as expected, all vehicle internal and external systems perform exactly as planned, and there are no external perturbing influences other than atmospheric drag and gravity.Thu, 09 Apr 2026 22:55:00 GMThttps://www.eng-tips.com/threads/nominal-versus-mean-on-mbd.511983/What do you mean by nominal versus mean? The whole point of MBD is that there are no dimensions on the drawing. Nominal dimensions come from the model. The profile tolerance on your drawing note or (somehow) on your PO provide acceptable variance from that nominal. Nominal and mean kick in when you call up limits and fits on your CAD drawing ...Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:11:00 GMThttps://www.eng-tips.com/threads/nominal-wall-thickness-for-olets-b31-1-weld-size-pwht.334513/The nominal thickness for PWHT is well defined in the 2010 edition of ASME B31.1; see section 132.4.2.E If you are using an older edition of ASME B31.1, what is the edition? Also, the 2010 Edition of ASME B31.1 was an excellent improvement in defining nominal thickness with Figure 127.4.8. D and E.Fri, 17 Apr 2026 09:38:00 GMThttps://www.eng-tips.com/threads/nominal-voltage.229747/Matthewm1965, Nominal voltage is the designated voltage for an electrical system. Based on the nominal voltage , all the other parameters are defined. (It is like your name. Everything is based on your name) But if you measure the voltage on a system where the nominal voltage is 480 V or 4.16 kV you will not find that value. It may vary +/- (x ...Fri, 17 Apr 2026 04:23:00 GMThttps://www.eng-tips.com/threads/unequal-tolerance-for-a-negative-nominal.282181/The negative sign is direction only and the actual specification limits are -2.250 and -2.240. I think that anyone who has worked with drawings for a while should be able to figure this out. To make it clearer, just place a nominal dimension with a bi-lateral tolerance so, instead of the first option, have a requirement of -2.245 +/-.005. Dave D.Sat, 18 Apr 2026 14:09:00 GMT
