This product flyer is intended for reference purposes. It should not be used in place of the advice from a licensed Professional Engineer. Design Pressure Rating is calculated per 49 CFR
§192.121 and based on an operating temperature of 73°F. Pipe weights are calculated in accordance with PPI TR-7. Nominal OD and Minimum wall plus 6% is used in estimating fluid flow.
Actual ID will vary. When designing components to fit the pipe ID, refer to pipe dimensions and tolerances in the applicable pipe manufacturing specification.
