Guideline B-02

Question

Answer

In the absence of DN in the standards, it shall be assumed that DN corresponds to the internal diameter in millimetres for circular products or the diameter in millimetres of the equivalent flow section for non-circular products.

In case of pressure accessories this assumption is made regardless of the diameter of the connection (which is usually expressed by DN).

For non-circular piping a comparative diameter must be determined from the existing cross-section. This comparative diameter must be used as the basis for classification.
