PN is a short term for "pressure rating of a pipe" PN depends on wall thickness, diameter and material type.

A PN 16 pipe is one that can withstand 16 bar (1.6 megapascals or about 232 psi) at 20 degrees c.

If you want it interms of height of equivalent water column, 1 bar =10.2 m of height water column at 20 deg C, this a PN 16 pipe can withstand 16*10.2=163.2 m of water head (static+dynamic).
