The max pressure for 247Garden's ERA Schedule-40 PVC fittings is PN10, 10 Bar, and 1.0 MPa.
Here's the breakdown to what it means.
- PN10: PN stands for "Pressure Nominal," which is a rating system used to denote the pressure capacity of a pipe or fitting. PN10 means that the fitting is rated for a nominal pressure of 10 bar.
- 10 Bar: This is a direct measurement of pressure. One bar is equivalent to 14.5 psi (pounds per square inch), so 10 bar equals 145 psi. It indicates the maximum pressure the PVC fittings can withstand.
- 1.0 MPa: MPa stands for "megapascal," another unit of pressure. 1.0 MPa is equivalent to 10 bar or approximately 145 psi.
In summary, these terms all indicate that the Schedule-40 PVC fittings from 247Garden are rated to handle a maximum pressure of 10 bar or 1.0 MPa, which is equivalent to 145 psi. This pressure rating ensures the fittings are suitable for use in systems where they will be exposed to pressures up to this limit.
