The pipelines that transport gas from offshore generally operate in the 80-120 bar range. About 20% of the UK's gas comes from Norway via a 750mile long 42" pipeline, I'd guess that runs at higher pressures due to distances involved.

I know this is in old question now but I've only seen it for the first time today. To answer, I run the training workshop for our apprenticeship scheme. Apprentices come to college one day per week for four years (5 years until recently) and do their practical coursework for their City & Guilds quals. I also teach two groups of schoolkids every week to give them a little experience in the trade and those that show promise and interest we try to match up with employers when they leave school. Most of our plumbers come through the school's links program.
Out of interest do any such schemes operate in the UK?
Anyway, that's why I do a lot of pressure testing every day.
I honestly hope that you guys earn stupid cash.
I would love to learn about this but I would have no idea where to start. I wouldn't even be sure if it would be worth it economically but.....I do love to keep on learning.
What you guys are talking about just feels like a whole different animal.

I’ve used the RP50 for years at work but always thought they were a little over priced.
I ordered the Dickie Dyer version for 25% of the cost of the genuine article. Seems pretty much identical side by side. I’ve ordered another 4. Will have to see how they go.
