Burst pressure measures the absolute system pressure that will burst the can. You're right, I don't think that'll be an issue at 250 pounds, although much higher can be had in interchangable filters if one were so inclined. The media inside the can however is not even remotely close to that strong. The pressure drop (the "actual pressure against the element") is much lower and very easy to exceed when one starts messing with bypass valve settings, as there tends not to be a high margin of error in it..
