Definition
Die Differenz zwischen Förderdruck und Einlassdruck.

Full bypass pressure is the pressure at which the entire capacity of a pump is bypassing through the relief valve. In other words, this is the maximum differential pressure rating for pumps with internal relief valves or the maximum discharge pressure rating for pumps with return-to-tank valves or in-line system valves.

This value is entirely dependent on the valve being used, the spring in the relief valve, and the capacity of the pump.
