At what minimum bursting pressure should hose used for LP Gas liquid transfer be rated?

The correct minimum bursting pressure for hoses used in LP gas liquid transfer is 1,750 psig. This rating is essential for ensuring safety and reliability when handling liquefied petroleum gas, which is stored under high pressure. Hoses operating at high-pressure environments require a significant safety margin to account for potential pressure spikes during operation.

A bursting pressure of 1,750 psig takes into consideration both the normal operating conditions and unexpected pressure surges that might occur during the transfer process. This safety measure helps to prevent hose ruptures, which can lead to hazardous leaks, potential fires, or explosions.

Higher options might suggest a greater safety buffer, but the critical aspect is a hose that meets or exceeds the standard requirement of 1,750 psig. It balances safety with the practical considerations of hose design and material compatibility with LP gas. Thus, hoses rated below this number would not be compliant with safety regulations and could present risks in operational scenarios.
