-
a maximum operating pressure (MOP) up to and including 25 bar 1) ;
-
an operating temperature of 20 °C as the reference temperature.
For applications operating at constant temperatures greater than 20 °C and up to 40 °C, see Annex A.
ISO 4427 covers a range of maximum operating pressures and gives requirements concerning colours and additives. It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national guidance or regulations and installation practices or codes.
