11. Certain commercial equipment, instruments or materials are identified in this report to specify adequately the experimental procedure. Such identification does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor does it imply that the materials or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose

14. It is likely that the rupture pressure could be improved by creating magnets with the annulus already formed in the molding process instead of machining it. This statement is supported by Kortmann et al. (ref. 6), who showed that their connectors could hold more than 200 PSI using springs with maximum force of 9.5 N and standard O-rings
