Re: Adjustable pressure relief valve?
My initial response has been deleted... it has finally made sense to me...I guess due to the long day.
I still believe there is a typo/wrong wording in the update I think the intent behind this rule change is apparently this.........
"Normal" configuration of solenoids is on the "working pressure" side of the system (ie <= 60psi). No concern, right??
As many teams are augmenting pneumatic systems with potential energy schemes, there is the opportunity to back-drive the pneumatic system and create a system where (typo assumption here) pressures GREATER than 125/60psi can be created thereby the need for a low-side pressure relief.
Overpressuring systems should NEVER be taken lightly and can happen indadvertently (beware of the "it could never happen" philosophy).
