I have a question for everyone: On the equipment layout diagram, what does the notation DN refer to? Some diagrams also use terms like PN and TN – what is the difference between them? ? ? I earnestly ask the experts for their guidance! ! ! This post was last edited by *aotao0421 on 2009-3-16 09:51]

N——Normal, nominal; D——Diameter; P——Pressure; T——Temperature; DN——Nominal diameter; PN——Engineering pressure

There might be some misunderstandings upstairs; I understand that

Here, DN, PN, and TN refer to direction indicators; on construction drawings, they are usually located in the upper right corner, with the arrow pointing north. In the design drawings produced by design institutes in the past, PN was commonly used, but recently I encountered DN on one set of drawings. I’m not sure how to distinguish between these terms I’d like to ask!

North of the PN factory? TN True North? Ask the general layout specialists

Oh, on wind roses, PN and TN are usually indicated. PN stands for the north side of a building, while TN refers to true north. An angle is often also specified between PN and TN, to assist fire safety authorities in carrying out their inspections; this is useful for things such as fire safety planning or wind energy utilization, as well as for larger-scale plans like urban planning.

I really don’t understand; I’m hoping experts can provide an answer.

PN: plant north – the north direction of a device; CN: construction n – the north direction in construction; TN: true north – the actual north direction
