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.

Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, the EN title page, pages 2 and 3 and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover. ii

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 1995-06-12. CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member. This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions. CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

3 DN Series

This International Standard gives the definition of DN (nominal size) when applied to components of a pipework system, as specified in those standards which use the DN designation system.

The preferred DN values are as follows: DN 10

DN 250

DN 1 500

DN 15

DN 300

DN 1 600

DN 20

DN 350

DN 1 800

DN 25

DN 400

DN 2 000

DN 32

DN 450

DN 2 200

This International Standard gives a list of preferred DN values.

DN 40

DN 500

DN 2 400

DN 50

DN 600

DN 2 600

2 Definition

DN 60

DN 700

DN 2 800

2.1 DN

DN 65

DN 800

DN 3 000

DN 80

DN 900

DN 3 200

an alphanumeric designation of size for components of a pipework system, which is used for reference purposes. It comprises the letters DN followed by a dimensionless whole number which is indirectly related to the physical size, in millimetres, of the bore or outside diameter of the end connections

DN 100

DN 1 000

DN 3 400

DN 125

DN 1 100

DN 3 600

DN 150

DN 1 200

DN 3 800

DN 200

DN 1 400

DN 4 000

NOTE1 Other methods of size designation are also used, e.g. products having threaded, compression, solder or welded end connections or products designated by NPS (nominal pipe size), OD (outside diameter), ID (inside diameter), but these are not defined in this International Standard.

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.
