  • Patent number: 10466128
    Abstract: An over-pressure indicator, including a cup-shaped body having, on its bottom, a hole inside which is sealably housed a mobile element loaded by a spring towards the bottom of the cup-shaped body, the mobile element facing an indicator sensitive part for communication with an area where pressure verification is wanted. The mobile element coupled with a signaller of a movement thereof. The spring pressed by a pre-loading ring nut screwed onto the cup-shaped body. The nut torsionally removably coupled with a calibration cap of the indicator. The calibration cap having at least one stop that, when it abuts against a portion of the cup-shaped body, limits further screwing of the nut thus determining pressure beyond which mobile element movement is allowed. The movement causing intervention of the indicator so by coupling the suitable calibration cap and indicator and screwing it in fully, setting the indicator intervention pressure is possible.
