Standard dimension ratio

Standard dimension ratio (SDR) is a method of rating a pipe's durability against pressure. The standard dimension ratio describes the correlation between the pipe dimension and the thickness of the pipe wall.

Common nominations are SDR11, SDR17 and SDR35. Pipes with a lower SDR can withstand higher pressures.

$SDR=\frac{d_o}{s}$

$d_o$ Pipe outside diameter

$s$ Pipe wall thickness
