NSV

NSV is an acronym that may refer to different concepts in fitness, military technology, and finance. The intended meaning is usually inferred from context.

In weight management and fitness communities, Non-Scale Victory (NSV) denotes achievements not measured by changes in body weight, such as reduced clothing size, increased energy, improved endurance, or better sleep. NSVs are valued for reinforcing motivation and tracking progress beyond a number on a scale.

In military equipment, NSV refers to the NSV family of heavy machine guns, a 12.7 mm caliber weapon used on ground vehicles, aircraft, and naval mounts. First produced in the late 20th century in the Soviet Union/Russia, it is known for high rate of fire and reliability, serving on tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and remote weapon stations.

In accounting and asset management, NSV can stand for Net Salvage Value, the estimated net amount recoverable from the disposal of an asset at the end of its useful life, after costs of sale and removal have been deducted. It factors into asset retirement calculations and depreciation planning.

Because NSV is an acronym with multiple meanings, the intended interpretation should be derived from the subject matter.
