    The minimum design values for an overload protector shall be specified by the manufacturer and shall not be less than

    Pop = 1,2 P* or pop = 1,2 p*

  2. 6.2.2.2.

    The ranges of minimum test force PTop or minimum test pressure pTop and the minimum test torque MTop are:

    PTop = 1,1 to 1,2 P* or pTop = 1,1 to 1,2 p*

    and

    MTop = 1,1 to 1,2 M*
