d – inside diameter; d1 – outside diameter; Rmin – minimum bending radius; Pw – maximum working pressure at 20 °C; Pt – test pressure.

Temperature correction factor Kt

The working pressure in the table is the maximum permissible pressure at room temperature. At higher temperatures it is calculated as:

Prt = Pr × Kt (bar)
