im drawing a blank when it comes to how to prove it.

thank you for any help. im sorry if its in the wrong forum.
I have a lot of questions about why you would be doing it this way, I suspect is has a lot to do with function that may be proprietery. Without trying to run through a full review of your design here, since you are local in CT, I would recommend working with a company that specializes in pressure testing that is in Agawam, MA. The name of the company is RonMar.
