Those are just estimates of their pressure limits. I've never found real specs on it, that's just the range I can recommend based on selling them to racers for 16 years and seeing what they used them on at the track. I got a good feel for what works where as I've seen thousands of applications of clamps for dozens of purposes. I've seen guys with leaky early model efi lines (74psi) use TWO worm drive clamps on the one end with the screws 180 degrees apart and it held until they got home. I wouldn't recommend that for long term use though. Those pressure limits I mentioned are from experience of what I've SEEN hold up season after season without failing. I would love to see some actual published numbers from the mfr.'s though.
Hmmm, I have internet, and nothing to do.....maybe a project search is in order.
