Is the nominal diameter of pressure vessels denoted by DN or φ, and does it refer to the inner diameter or the outer diameter?

Should the nominal diameter of pressure vessels be denoted by DN or φ, and does it refer to the inner diameter or the outer diameter? It seems that GBT 9019-2015 \"Nominal Diameter of Pressure Vessels\" doesn’t clarify this point very well

The nominal diameter of pressure vessels is denoted by DN, which represents the inner diameter.

The nominal diameter generally refers to the inner diameter, while φ usually denotes the outer diameter. Thickness is included in this measurement; the nominal diameter, on the other hand, does not take thickness into account

General pressure vessels are indicated as: outer diameter (φ) X length X wall thickness

GBT 9019-2015 \"Nominal Diameter of Pressure Vessels\" seems less clear than the old standard

The nominal diameter is denoted by DN; it represents a series, and is not the outer or inner diameter. It is a value close to the inner diameter. For containers, when the DN values are the same, the outer diameter is indicated by φ.
