2 unusual facts about Pounds per square inch


Sorel cement

It can withstand 10,000 – 12,000 psi (69 - 83 MPa) of compressive force whereas standard Portland cement can typically only withstand 7,000 - 8,000 psi.

Well kill

Simple conversion factors (0.433 for specific gravity and 0.052 for ppg) convert these values to a pressure gradient in psi per foot.


.280 Remington

SAAMI pressure limit for the .280 Remington is set at 60,000 PSI, 50,000 CUP.

Pressure regulator

These regulators normally compensate for tank pressures between 30 - 200 PSI and commonly deliver 11 inches water column (0.4 PSI) for residential applications and 35 inches of water column (1.3 PSI) for industrial applications.
