The above information is based on tests performed at 73° F and can vary in individual applications based on parameters such as temperature, chemical concentration, pressure, etc. Please consult factory for details. For an estimate on burst pressure at ambient temperature we consider a 3:1 ratio when exposure temperature is 73° F. However Altaflo does not recommend exceeding the suggested Working Pressure listed.
