Subject: concept "overfill" (disc)

Dear all, the recent Al tank overfill thread made me doubt on the
"overfill"  concept  as  applied  both  in the US and Europe. For
instance,  steel  tanks  are  considered  to have an "operational
pressure"  of 200 bar in the US whereas the standard pressure for
the same tank is 232 bar (16% overfill) in Europe.

I   would   like   some   of  the  senior  technical  divers  to
discuss/clarify the concept of "overfill".

· Do we systematically overfill steel tanks in Europe ?

· Does this 16% "overfill" (relative to US standards) represent a
  risk in older steel tanks ?

Any comments will be mostly appreciated.

Cheers,
