Pressure Ratings

Pressure ratings indicate the maximum internal pressure a pipe, valve, or fitting can safely handle during operation without risking failure or damage. It is measured in units like pounds per square inch (psi) or bar. For example, a pressure rating of 150 psi means the component can withstand pressures up to 150 psi safely. Choosing the correct pressure rating ensures system integrity and safety, especially under high-pressure conditions. Always select components with a pressure rating suitable for your application’s maximum expected pressure to prevent leaks, bursts, or other failures.
