The OD, Inner Diameter, Nominal Diameter of Steel Pipe
The diameter of steel pipe can be divided into outer diameter, inner diameter and nominal diameter. The outer diameter of the pipe with the antiseptic spiral steel pipe is denoted by letter D, followed by the size and wall thickness of the outer diameter. For example, the anticorrosive spiral steel pipe with an outer diameter of 108 has a wall thickness of 5mm, which is expressed by D108*5. The plastic pipe is also expressed by the outer diameter, such as De63. Others such as reinforced concrete pipes, cast iron pipes, and galvanized pipes are indicated by DN. Design drawings are generally expressed in terms of nominal diameters. The nominal diameter is a standard that is conveniently and artificially specified for design, manufacture and maintenance. It is also a nominal diameter and is the specification name of a pipe (or pipe fitting). The nominal diameter of the pipe is not equal to its inner diameter and outer diameter. For example: a nominal diameter of 100MM sp...
