Proof Pressure vs. Burst Pressure in Heavy-Duty Pressure Gauges
Proof Pressure vs. Burst Pressure in Heavy-Duty Pressure Gauges Key Takeaways Proof 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 [...]
