c-values for copper and PEX

in THE MAIN WALL
I'm trying to run through some calculations based on the equations is Siegenthaler's Moder Hydronic Heating and I can't find a table of constants for smaller sized tubing typical in radiant floor heating. His table on pg 139 only goes down to 1/2" copper. I assume that PEX would have about the same constants for a given inside diameter of copper. Am I right on that? Does anyone know where to find the constant for 3/8" copper/1/2" PEX?

Thanks,

David
