Some corrections:
Diameter: 533,4 mm (21")
Range: 5000 m (= 5 Km / 50 Hm)
Warhead: Kb. Ka1, Ka2*
Pistol: TZ2, Pi1*
* Initially it was equipped with the Kb head and the TZ2 pistol. After some time, it was noted that the magnetic part of the TZ2 became affected by the commands received over the control cable, thus the magnetic part of the pistol was ordered shut off, just using the mechanical part. The remaining torpedoes produced afterwards were equipped with Ka heads and the mechanical Pi1 pistol.
