Spanish term or phrase: DN

Spanish Spanish to UK English

From a design specification document.

"Cuando el tendido enterrado corresponda a un tramo puntual del recorrido de un cable aéreo, en dicho tramo el cable se tenderá dentro de conduit metálico o de PVC con DN > 150 mm"

NOTE the > is actually a DN "is greater than or equal to" 150 mm symbol (if that makes any difference or helps at all....)

Has anyone come across the use of DN before (I doubt diameter because earlier in the document the correct Greek symbol was used for diameter, whose name I can't remember, phi by any chance?).

TIA,
Neil
