The maximum working pressure covered in this European Standard is 20 bar which is relevant to LPG storage (Class C). The temperature range is limited to - 20 øC to 125 øC. NOTE: For applications outside the scope of this Standard (e.g. compressed gases) the purchaser should consult the manufacturer. Anaerobic jointing compounds are covered by EN 751-1, non-hardening sealing materials in form of - e.g. jointing compound paste - are covered by EN 751-2.
