Hi,

When calculating the diameter of the largest finished opening I find K= 2.08. Knowing that "K shall not exceed 0.990", is it correct to say that PG-32.1.2 cannot be used? therefore it doesn't exist a maximum diameter opening?

Thank you

I believe you are supposed to limit the value of K to 0.99 in your calculations. Meaning if you have K under 0.99, use that, otherwise use 0.99.
