Are You Buying All These Half-ton Claims?

With commercial operations such as refineries, power plants and manufacturing plants, they use a different type of rating. Operation speed is always set below what total output could actually be. For instance, if a refinery is rated a 100 barrels/hour output. It would actually have the capability to put out more barrels/hour. The closer you get to your max rating, the greater the probability of failure. They reduce the rating because actually running at max would reduce the amount of time between maintenance, and increase the probability of failures.

I don't think any of us want to see a failure on the road. Both for safety and inconvenience reasons.
