Nominal Pipe Size is a label, not a measurement. NPS 24 pipe has an outside diameter of 24.000 inches, and it keeps that outside diameter in every schedule made. What the schedule number changes is the wall: at schedule 5s the wall is 0.218 inches, so the bore comes out at 23.564 inches.
That is the practical consequence. Fittings, flanges, supports and threading dies are sized to the outside diameter, so they fit any schedule of the same trade size. Flow, pressure drop and anything that has to pass through the pipe depend on the inside diameter, which changes with every schedule. Order by trade size and schedule; work your hydraulics from the bore.
Same outside diameter of 24.000 inches throughout - only the wall and the bore move.

0.218 inches (5.54 mm). The outside diameter is 24.000 inches (609.60 mm) whatever the schedule, so this wall leaves an inside diameter of 23.564 inches.
23.564 inches (598.52 mm). Inside diameter is outside diameter minus twice the wall: 24.000 - 2 x 0.218 = 23.564 inches.
No. NPS 24 is a trade size, not a measurement. The pipe measures 24.000 inches across the outside and 23.564 inches across the bore in this schedule. Only the outside diameter is fixed across schedules.
This table runs from NPS 1/8 to NPS 24 and stops there. ASME B36.10M itself continues to NPS 80; those larger sizes are not carried here, so a size above NPS 24 is missing rather than undefined.
