National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee PSE/15 and is
the English language version of EN ISO 6708:1995 — Pipework components —
Definition and selection of DN (nominal size), published by the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is identical with ISO 6708:1995,
published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

1 Scope 3 DN Series
This International Standard gives the definition of The preferred DN values are as follows:
DN (nominal size) when applied to components of a DN 10 DN 250 DN 1 500
pipework system, as specified in those standards
which use the DN designation system. DN 15 DN 300 DN 1 600
NOTE1 Other methods of size designation are also used, DN 20 DN 350 DN 1 800
e.g. products having threaded, compression, solder or welded end
connections or products designated by NPS (nominal pipe size), DN 25 DN 400 DN 2 000
OD (outside diameter), ID (inside diameter), but these are not
defined in this International Standard. DN 32 DN 450 DN 2 200
This International Standard gives a list of preferred DN 40 DN 500 DN 2 400
DN values.
DN 50 DN 600 DN 2 600
2 Definition DN 60 DN 700 DN 2 800
2.1 DN 65 DN 800 DN 3 000
DN DN 80 DN 900 DN 3 200
an alphanumeric designation of size for components DN 100 DN 1 000 DN 3 400
of a pipework system, which is used for reference
purposes. It comprises the letters DN followed by a DN 125 DN 1 100 DN 3 600
dimensionless whole number which is indirectly DN 150 DN 1 200 DN 3 800
related to the physical size, in millimetres, of the
DN 200 DN 1 400 DN 4 000
bore or outside diameter of the end connections
NOTE 2 The number following the letters DN does not
represent a measurable value and should not be used for
calculation purposes except where specified in the relevant
standard.
NOTE 3 In those standards which use the DN designation
system, any relationship between DN and component dimensions
should be given, e.g. DN/OD or DN/ID.
