Beringer wheels - pressure?
- Thread starter mturnerb
- Start date
I finally found some guidance from Beringer in a manual - "4" which I assume is 4 bar or 48PSI. I put 50 in the nose and 40 in mains and looks good. May bump the mains a bit after wings are on as I'm sure this will push them down a tad...

We don't yet have all our pictures uploaded online. However, for those who are interested in the Beringer setup for the RV14/14A, we offer a complete installation package including pre made hoses.
As Beringer dealers, we have a deal worked out with Beringer where they exclude all the "do it yourself' brake lines from the kit for a credit and we have them drop ship the components directly to the customer and we ship the pre assembled and pressure tested brake lines. (Shown below is the Tailwheel setup with PB and Anti Skid valves)
It's just another option for those who want the Beringer setup, but don't want to fabricate their own lines.

1 bar = atmospheric pressure = 14.5 psi. If the "4" is actually 4 bar then the pressure is 14.5 x 4 = 58 psi.
Atmospheric pressure
1 atmosphere at sea level = 14.6959 and usually rounded off to 14.7 here in the states. Must be a little less up north.

Yes, maybe it is
.On the other hand, according to Wikipedia, the legal definition:
The bar is defined using the SI derived unit, pascal: 1 bar ≡ 100,000 Pa ≡ 100,000 N/m2.
Thus, 1 bar is equal to:
1,000,000 Ba (barye) (in cgs units);
and 1 bar is approximately equal to:
0.987 atm
14.5038 psi absolute
29.53 inHg
750.06 mmHg
750.06 Torr
1019.72 centimetres of water (cmH2O).

Beringer manual recommends 3.5 to 4 bars for 5.00x5 wheels.
Pretty much where I landed for now.
