    Pipe manufacturers use the Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR), which is the ratio of a pipe's diameter to its wall thickness, to rate pressure piping. The SDR is calculated by dividing the pipe's outside diameter by its wall thickness. A higher SDR number means a thinner pipe wall relative to the diameter, resulting in a lower pressure rating, while a lower SDR means a thicker wall and a higher pressure tolerance.

    Many PE pipe manufacturers use the "Standard Dimension Ratio" - SDR - method of rating

    pressure piping. The SDR is the ratio of pipe diameter to wall thickness and the SDR can be
    expressed as

    SDR = D / s (1)

    where

    D = pipe outside diameter (mm)

    s = pipe wall thickness (mm)

    A SDR 11 means that the outside diameter - D - of the pipe is eleven times the thickness - s - of
    the wall.

    with a high SDR ratio the pipe wall is thin compared to the pipe diameter

    with a low SDR ratio the pipe wall is thick compared to the pipe diameter

    As a consequence a high SDR pipe has a low-pressure rating and low SDR pipe has a high-
    pressure rating.
