Cleaning a pressure vessel

How did it fail? Rust holes scabbing open, splitting, exploding?

An hole near the caster ,I have not intention to repair the hole because I'm sure that will fail again
There was some rust in that spot and it fail there
Nothing of dramatic the pressure went down and I saw the water coming out ,nothi no did explode

so none of the usual rubbish about exploding tanks that's bantered about the internet of doom and gloom

Thanks.

That's why I asked.

During a hydro test I would be very surprised if it did "explode" as water is used so there isn't the bang that goes with a gas test (failure that is).

Water doesn’t compress

Water doesn’t compress

But you can pressurise a vessel using it as an hydraulic fluid as happens with oil on the escavators and other big machine with hydraulic cylinders
In this case using an high pressure pomp I forced the water to get into the tank

Got cut short on the previous post as it’s not possible to compress water there is no rapid expansion in the event of a leak or rupture more of a controlled event.

Anyway it's past now , it's all ok

this test it with water in it

this one is without water in it actual real cctv video footage of an air tank explosion

and another

this is why we say dont use water tanks or air tanks thats been full of water for a long time

Yep that's the reason because I wanted to do the hydro-test also if I did at home it worked pretty well
