    A typical nominal regulated gauge pressure from a medical oxygen regulator is 3.4 bars (50 psi), for an absolute pressure of approximately 4.4 bar and a pressure ratio of about 4.4 without back pressure, so they will have choked flow in the metering orifices for a downstream (outlet) pressure of up to about 2.3 bar absolute.

  9. Variable force solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_force_solenoid

    A pressure force due controlled flow areas and supply pressure, often called line pressure; The VFS can be designed such that any of these forces act in either axial direction. If the magnetic force acts opposes the pressure force, then increasing current through the solenoid coil will, at steady-state, cause an increase in VFS output pressure.
