Outside Diameter Tolerances
The standard defines five tolerance grades for the outside diameter. Grades A, B, and C are calculated from the nominal diameter (dn).
Nominal Outside Diameter Sizes (Metric Series)
The standard specifies the following nominal outside diameters (d_n) for thermoplastic pipes in the metric series.
Mean External Diameter Sizes (Inch-based Series)
For the inch-based series, the standard provides the mean external diameter corresponding to the nominal pipe size.
