pressure values, for the filling, must obligatorily be read on the pressure
gauge 0--1 MPa (tooling). Pay no attention to indications given by the dial
densimeter (MPa -- psi), it is not accurate enough for the filling.
Pressure gauge 0--1 MPa
Pressure units
(reminder)
D The international unit pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
1 bar (14.503 psi) = 1,000 hPa
1 bar = 100 kPa
10 bar = 1 MPa
Symbols
