Gastro sizes

The global format GN 1/1 is adopted as the basis, denoting a gastronorm container with dimensions of 530x325 mm. All other formats (GN 1/2, GN 2/3, etc.) are derived from the GN 1/1 size.

The numbers following the designation GN 1/1 indicate the depth (height) of the gastronorm container in millimeters (for example, the sides of the GN1/1-10 container have a height of 10 mm).
