* Pression Nominal is the French equivalent of Pressure Nominal

Pression Nominal is the rating designator followed by a designation number indicating the
approximate pressure rating in bars.
1 bar = 1x105 Pa (N/m2) = 0.1 N/mm2 = 10,197 kp/m2 = 10.20 m H2O = 0.98692 atm =
14.5038 psi (lbf/in2)
PN ratings do not provide a proportional relationship between different PN numbers, whereas
class numbers do. Class numbers are therefore recommended before PN ratings.
