1) Minimum pressure 4 bar (58psi) with external drain (E), maximum
pressure 200 bar (2901psi). With internal drain (I), at the minimum
pressure (4 bar - 58psi), add the working pressure with ratio of
6,5:1. Example: With working pressure 100 bar (1450psi),
minimum pilot pressure is 19.38 bar (281psi) ((100:6,5) + 4 bar
(58psi)).
