how about instead of removing material from the flat surface of the dome

to
remove material around the outside diameter? would that alter the point

at
which the dome went PING? i was just wondering if the outside edge is
constrained in a bezel, if there was more room to expand there if that

would
alter it's temperature rating?

b.w.


If there were room, one could add a preload spring to change the set

point.

RTFM


I might try that , will require adding a small well for the spring
