Pressure ratings for schedule 40 pipe?

Pressure ratings for schedule 40 pipe?

Pressure ratings for schedule 40 pipe?

(OP)
I need educating on schedule 40 piping specs.
Is there a specific pressure rating for a schedule 40 cast iron fitting?

I am looking for fittings/piping to be used for a 12 bar compressed air application and I am concerned using the run-of-the-mill iron fitting you can pick up at any plumbing store.

RE: Pressure ratings for schedule 40 pipe?

No.

You are right to be concerned. At 12 bar folks can get hurt when the system finds the weak link. Hire a reputable engineer, identify the code which will apply to your situation, and you'll stay out of trouble.

run of the mill fittings still have a stamp with a pressure rating, unless they are truely some sort of homemade without a stamp...

You may need someone to help deciphor the stampings
