: I'm a little confused? Why on a 3000 psi tank would someone put a 5000 psi burst disc? This is the test pressure that the tank is tested to. Most burst discs are usually 600 psi over service pressure and in this case it would be 3600 psi. You can't legally fill 10% over for safety reasons and that would only be 3300 psi. This is a serious safety concern.
