    300 kPa 50 psi Water pressure of a garden hose [58] 300 to 700 kPa 50–100 psi Typical water pressure of a municipal water supply in the US [59] 358 to 524 kPa: 52-76 psi Threshold of pain for objects outside the human body hitting it [60] 400 to 600 kPa 60–90 psi Carbon dioxide pressure in a champagne bottle [61] 520 kPa 75 psi

  3. Fluid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_power

    Their maximum pressure is limited to 250-300 psi (1.7 - 2.0 MPa). This type of pump is primarily used for transporting fluids from one location to another. Centrifugal and axial flow propeller pumps are the two most common types of dynamic pumps. [1] Positive displacement pumps. This type is universally used for fluid power systems.

  4. Operating temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_temperature

    An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context, and ranges from the minimum operating temperature to the maximum operating temperature (or peak operating ...

  5. Fire hose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hose

    Supply lines, used to supply firefighting apparatus with water, are frequently found in 3 + 1 ⁄ 2, 4, 4 + 1 ⁄ 2, 5 and 6-inch diameters. There are several systems available for repairing holes in fire hoses, the most common being the Stenor Merlin, which offer patching materials for Type 1, 2, and 3 hoses. The patches come in two different ...

  6. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    A simple control system for a water well. Referring to the figure on the left, a submersible water pump is installed in a well. The pressure switch turns the water pump on when it senses a pressure that is less than P lo and turns it off when it senses a pressure greater than P hi. While the pump is on, the pressure tank fills up.

  7. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

    For example, if a cylinder was rated to DOT-2015 PSI (approximately 139 bar), it would be tested at around 3360 PSI (approximately 232 bar). Water is commonly used because it is cheap and easily available, and is usually harmless to the system to be tested. Hydraulic fluids and oils may be specified where contamination with water could cause ...

    The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Wednesday warned that credit card companies devaluing or canceling reward points, cash back or miles rewards programs may be breaking the law.

  9. Pressure cooker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_cooker

    For example, if the pressure reaches 1 bar or 100 kPa (15 psi) above the existing atmospheric pressure, the water will have reached a temperature of approximately 120 °C (248 °F) which cooks the food much faster. Pressure cookers also use steam and water to rapidly transfer the heat to the food and all parts of the vessel.
