6.4.2 Calculation of wall thickness
The relationship between the nominal wall thickness e and the nominal outside diameter d is specified
n n
in ISO 4065. The values for nominal pipe wall thickness e for nominal pressure ratings PN, can be
n
calculated by substituting the values for MRS, C, and d in the formula:

Values shall be rounded to one decimal place according to the rules of ISO 4065.
Nominal S numbers and their calculated values are given in ISO 4065 for the R10 series of preferred
numbers. For the R20 series required for this European Standard, refer to ISO 3.
The nominal outside diameter and nominal wall thickness for the relevant nominal pressure and material
classes are specified in Table 3.
7 Geometrical characteristics
7.1 Measurement of dimensions
Dimensions shall be measured in accordance with EN ISO 3126.
7.2 Length of pipes
It is recommended to supply pipes in one or more of the following lengths: 3 m, 5 m, 6 m, 10 m or 12 m,
where these lengths do not include the depth of any integral socket(s). Other lengths are subject to
agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
The tolerance on length, including sockets, is specified in Table 2.

7.3 Nominal outside diameters and wall thicknesses
The nominal outside diameter of pipes in accordance with ISO 161-1, and the corresponding wall
thickness shall be selected from Table 3 as appropriate for size, nominal pressure and pipe material class.
The tolerances on mean outside diameters shall be in accordance with ISO 11922-1:2018, grade C. For
other outside diameters not mentioned in ISO 11922-1, the tolerance shall be calculated according to
0,003d rounded to the nearest 0,1 mm with a minimum value of 0,3 mm.
n
The nominal wall thickness shall comply with the minimum values given in Table 3.
The mean wall thickness shall be declared by the manufacturer.
The tolerances on the mean wall thickness shall be in accordance with ISO 11922-1:2018, grade W,
otherwise they shall be specified by the manufacturer. For other wall thicknesses the tolerance can be
calculated according to the formula (0,1 × e + 0,2) mm rounded up to the nearest 0,1 mm. Due to the
min
additional processing step, being the orientation of the material, the tolerance on mean wall thickness of
the PVC-O pipe could be increased.
The tolerances on out-of-roundness shall be in accordance with ISO 11922-1:2018, grade M.
For PN 25, nominal diameters from ISO 2531 can also be used.
