ITYM 1800 PSI, or abour 120 bar.

Nope. 1800 bar, or about 27,000 PSI. Very dangerous stuff. A leak can squirt
out with such force that it can slice right into the human body.

Different designs use different pressures. They're pretty much all above
1000 bar, and some new designs are now edging 2000 bar.

Well, well, well, I wouldn't have beliived it but I;ve now found such
on google. Had a suitable question been on WWTBAM I would have got the
answer wrong.
