as in general terms, what is the psi roughly, obivously the harder you brakes the more PSI is applied, but a general idea would be nice.

thanks

 

650,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 psi

 

 

i actually have no idea what psi they use, i mean is it

100psi?

1000psi?

10,000psi?

 

i imagine theres probably a pressure range, so much pressure to give so much pressure at the pad... i know it sounds daft, but i know that haynes manuals list this kind of info...if you have one lying around perhaps worth looking?

 

yeah will have a look cheers.

 

doesn't it give a maximum working pressure on the rubber hose?

must be reasonably high to require metal lines and special/braided hoses.

why the question?

it's possible to work it out if you need to or can be arsed. you have a pedal ratio where the force that you apply is multiplied, and then you have the area of the master cylinder piston so it's not too difficult.

 

i cant remember,,, ummm long time since school

 

generally a working pressure of around 2000psi iirc obviously varies !!
