I've seen 50,000 psi quoted as the maximum working pressure and 67,500 psi as proof pressure. But I don't know how accurate that is.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

I'm not sure what the definitive working pressure should be. But when I had a rfile proofed at the Birmingham proof house I asked the question as to what the proof pressure was. I was told as a rule of thumb that the proof pressure was about 30% over maximum working pressure. :roll:
