DIN
Deutsches Institut fur Normung (refers to connection between the first stage of a regulator and the tank valve, using a capture o-ring system)
German system to give a measure of mast stiffness. Superseded by first the MCS and then the IMCS system, but still found on some older masts or sails. A DIN value of 7.2-7.4 would indicate an average stiffness suitable for most sails, while much stiffer would only be suitable for more hi-tech racing sails. Check our masts feature for more on this and a DIN/IMCS conversion table.
