6. PED DIRECTIVE 97/23/CE The SicoAir product as indicated in the operating conditions can be used at working pressures of NP 12.5 bar and therefore is subject to a verification of the applicability of European Directive 97/23/EC (PED) that must be applied when the NP is greater than 0.5 bar. To check if the SicoAir product falls within the scope of Directive 97/23/EC the following parameters need to be considered: - Type of fluid: compressed air (fluid group 2) - NP operating pressure: 12.5 bar (considered the maximum operating pressure) - DN Nominal diameter: 63 mm (considered the maximum DN) Article 3, Section 1.3 b - Directive 97/23/EC Piping intended for: a) gases, liquefied gases, gases dissolved under pressure, vapours and also those liquids whose vapour pressure at the maximum allowable

temperature is greater than 0.5 bar above normal atmospheric pressure, (1,013 mbar) within the following limits: - for fluids in Group 2 with a DN greater than 32 and the product PS x DN greater than 1 000 bar (Annex II, table 7);

It shows the calculation of the product of PS and DN: PSxDN = 12.5x63= 787.5 bar < 1000 bar

The values of PS and DN are shown on the graph.
