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.
