Dimensioning
Technical principles of pipe dimensioning: pressure ratings, SDR values, bending radii, pull forces and dimension tables.
This section covers the fundamental principles of pipe dimensioning. Topics include pressure class assignment, SDR values, thermal derating, bending radii and pull force considerations.
