Bomb Gas Pressures

OK, so here are the N2 pressures for the bomb, courtesy Mr Bentley:

New bomb:  78 - 82 bar (1131-1189 psi).  I'll take that as 80 bar +/- 2.

Minimum:   30 bar (435 psi)

both at 20C/68F.

The pressure relief valve in the bomb opens at 150 bar (2175 psi),
so the pressure ratio is actually a little less than 2:1 (150:80)
for a new bomb, 5:1 for a nearly dead bomb.

Orin.
