Unfamiliar Unit

Hi, I had met a unfamiliar unit "NB. B.S.P.", I have no idea what this unit is. Can anyone please advise me on this.
By the way, I set an example of it.
Under this type of boiler model
Steam Outlet = 25 NB B.S.P.
Boiler Feed inlet = 20 NB B.S.P.
etc
Appreciate if you could help me on this. Thanks

Those are not units, but rather types of pipe fittings.
NB = Nickel Plated Brass
BSP = British Standard Pipe
The 20 or 25 before it is possibly the size in millimeters. 25 millimeters is close to 1 inch, are they 1 inch pipes?

After additional thought, I imagine the numbers 20 and 25 could stand for the threads per inch of the pipe adapters. That might make more sense. Not sure about that part though.
