Do we have consensus on the risk (real or speculative) of using yokes from an era which had 2250/2400psi service pressure now at 3000 psi service pressure?
I've believed the speculation most yokes are significantly over engineers and the failure presssure is far more than 3000psi, still leaving an acceptable (personally decided) safety margin.
Particularly interested in accounts of catastrophic failure... Are those common?
Speaking of ones such as the left. Side curiosity, the visually identical middle and left yoke... 3000 psi and 4000 psi stamped. Are they any different from each other?
