Piping Class Ratings based on ASME B16.

5 and corresponding PN (Pression Nominal*): Flange Class Flange Pressure Nominal, PN 150 20 300 50 400 68 600 100 900 150 1500 250 2500 420

* 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.
