Overview

Engineering reference data for ISO 11922 Thermoplastic Pipes Dimensions in piping systems.

Key Formulas

Continuity

A1v1=A2v2A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

Mass conservation in pipe flow.

Pressure Drop

ΔP=fLDρv22\Delta P = f \frac{L}{D} \frac{\rho v^2}{2}

Darcy-Weisbach equation.

Pipe Area

A=πD24A = \frac{\pi D^2}{4}

Cross-sectional area of a pipe.

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).

Notes
AT = 0.009d_n0.310AllRounded up to 0.1 mm.
BT = 0.006d_n0.34AllRounded up to 0.1 mm.
CT = 0.003d_n0.32AllRounded up to 0.1 mm.
DN/A--10 – 1000Based on practical experience; tighter than Grade C.
ESpecific values--110, 125, 140For applications like socket fusion in PE systems where Grade B may be too loose.
