For reference purposes, if DN designation of size for components of a pipework system is required, it can be calculatedfor tubes to this standard by:Nominal outside diameter (d) — 2 x nominal wall thickness (e). DN is defined as a dimensionless whole number which is indirectly related to the physical size, in millimetres, of the bore oroutside diameter of the end
