What is DN?

What is the PCD?

" DN15

DN25

10" DN250

DN stands for 'Diameter Nominale'.

1" DN32

12" DN300

Put simply, it is a rough translation of mm from

imperial sizes, assuming that an inch is 25mm.

1" DN40

We refer to a 12" flange as DN300, when in fact it is 2" DN65

The PCD of a flange is one of the critical dimensions.

PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) is the diameter of a circle that goes through each of
the bolt holes.

There are several standards for flanges, and we deal with four of them;

Table E is the most popular for applications with water.

All dimensions are specified in inches.

These flanges are equivalent to the BS10 flanges, except that all
dimensions are specified in mm.
In some sizes, bolt holes are slightly larger to give better
clearance.

Higher numbers denote higher pressures.

Sometimes people use the word 'Class' instead of ANSI. e.g. an
ANSI 150 flange might be called a 'Class 150'
All dimensions are specified in inches.

PN100

Engineers use the prefix PN (Pressure Nominale). e.g. a BA450416 flange will commonly be referred to as a PN16
Generally, a PN16 flange is designed to withstand pressures up to
16 bar.
All dimensions are specified in mm.
