Proof Pressure vs. Burst Pressure in Heavy-Duty Pressure Gauges
Proof Pressure vs. Burst Pressure in Heavy-Duty Pressure GaugesKey TakeawaysProof pressure is the highest pressure a gauge can experience without drifting out of calibration.Burst (rupture) pressure is the catastrophic limit at which the bourdon tube will leak or fail.Reotemp heavy-duty gauges are proof-tested to 130 % of range (110 % above 5 000 PSI) and [...]
