I have a hard time believing that all the magazines "and" the Bosch
handbook all have the wrong numbers. And the Bosch handbook says
pressures between 350 and 1600 bar and I have a hard time believing you
can make a typo like that. It's also hard to believe that 3-4 different
independet automotive magazines would make the same typos.
Even a harvester machine use up to 200 bar in the hydraulics system in
steel braided rubber hoses so I don't see why these figures would be so
hard to achieve in steel lines.

Just my opinion....
