There are no hard and fast rules, because special circumstances/design rules can be invoked, but in general:

  • U {Div 1}: 15 psig - 3000 psig [may go higher with additional rules, see U-1(d)]
  • U2: 15 psig - no stated limit [see 1.2.2.1 for requirements; above 10,000 psig U3 should be considered]
  • U3: generally above 10,000 psig [again, this is just a "guideline", may be used at lower pressures as well]
