Definitions SDR
»» Standard Dimension Ratio - a nominal ratio of the pipe outside diameter to its
wall thickness.
Working pressure
»» Maximum pressure that can be sustained by the class of pipe for its estimated useful life
under the expected working conditions.
PN
»» Nominal working pressure designated in bar.
