These fittings are for general purposes for the transmission of fluids and gases up to the limits of pressure and temperature specified in this standard. They are intended for the connection of elements threaded in accordance with ISO 7-1, sizes ( to 6. For use in conditions outside the pressure and temperature limits specified, reference shall be made to the manufacturer. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
