Technical Information

Temperature-Burst Pressure

• ● The above graph shows the relationship between bursting pressure and temperature of Pennchem® CT and TX.
  Example: How much is the bursting pressure of Pennchem® CT 1/2" at 100°C?
  0.96 MPa x 0.58 = 0.56 MPa
• ● Safety pressure is usually designed to be 1/3 to 1/5 of the bursting pressure at working temperature.
• ● When using Pennchem® CT and TX, you should design by taking into account the application conditions including possible impact, the hazard of fluid and the types of joints.
• ● When using Pennchem® CT and TX, you should confirm beforehand their usability and safety by testing them.

Minimum bend radius

（注）

1. A minimum bend radius should be such that no kink (fold of tube) is caused when a tube is wound around a pipe with a diameter equal to the minimum bend radius.

2. Diameter D corresponding to minimum bend radius R can be calculated by D=R X 2.^*

3. Measurement should be made at room temperature.

4. Be careful not to bend Pennchem® CT and TX to below the minimum bend radius.
