NSD – Nominal Size Designation

Notes:

  • Dimensions 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8 are delivered as cold drawn.
  • The table is valid for tubes for threading and plain end tubes.
  • Values (SD) in brackets were valid until 1995.
  • Since 2000 in the range 10.3 – 48.3 mm Nominal Size Designation and outside diameter OD are equal.
  • From 60,3 mm numbers without brackets are valid for Nominal Size Designations and ODs. (under the line)
  • Pipe with WT of STD and XS are also designed for threading.
