Re-Fuelling flow rate vs Pressure

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to ask if any of you people have a formula for converting fuel bowser flow rates into psi for a standard pressure refuelling bowser.

The reason for my question is that many business jets have a pressure limitation for refuelling but I have never seen a pressure guage on a bowser, only a flow meter. I have often told the refueller’s to turn down the flow rate when refuelling to ensure safety and I advise others to do it. However it would be nice if I was actually able to see if the refuelling pressure is in limits.

Thank you

MM
