Pressure ranges in fluid technology

In hydraulics a differentiation is generally made between four pressure ranges within which the allocation of pressures is however a little scattered:

  • Low pressure (LP): Pressures up to approx. 100 bar,
  • Medium pressure (MP): 100 to 200 bar,
  • High pressure (HP) up to approx. 500...600 bar,
  • Very high pressure above that.
