What is the difference between “Rated Pressure” and “Test Pressure”?

Safety margins are critical in subsea engineering.

• Working Pressure (SWP): 60MPa. This is the depth at which the connector is designed to operate 24/7.
• Burst/Failure Pressure: The theoretical limit where structural failure occurs, which is significantly higher than 60MPa.
• Our Protocol: We utilize 100MPa High-Pressure Pumps in our lab. Routine batch testing confirms seal integrity at the rated depth for 60 minutes to catch any infant mortality failures.
