vysokotlakové

Vysokotlakové is a Czech adjective meaning high-pressure. It is used to describe equipment, processes, or systems designed to operate at elevated pressure. The prefix vysoko- emphasizes the higher pressure value, and the suffix -ové agrees with the noun (for example vysokotlakové zařízení, vysokotlakové hadice). The term appears across technical domains such as engineering, industry, and consumer products to distinguish high-pressure variants from standard-pressure ones.

Common usage includes vysokotlakové hadice (high-pressure hoses) used in hydraulics and industrial machinery; vysokotlakové čerpadlo (high-pressure pump) that generates significant pressure for fluid transport or cleaning; vysokotlakové systémy, such as those used in cleaning equipment, water-jet cutting, and laboratory instrumentation. The term also appears in consumer products like vysokotlakové mytí (high-pressure washing) devices and related accessories.

Safety and regulation: High-pressure systems pose hazards including leaks, component failure and sudden release of energy. They require properly rated equipment, regular maintenance, and operators trained in handling high-pressure devices. In the European Union and the Czech Republic, high-pressure equipment falls under safety standards and directives such as the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and national standards (ČSN). Devices must be designed, manufactured, and tested to appropriate pressure ratings, with protective devices and secure connections.
