Re: Destructive Air Tank Testing
What method are you using to cause the failure? Simple over-pressurization or are you intentionally over-tightening the end fittings? It would be brittle failure either way, but it may make a difference in how much energy is in the system at the time of failure. An over-tightened fitting would likely fail at a fair lower pressure (eg, potentially below 120psi) whereas a properly assembled tank would not.
On that same note, did you monitor the pressure that the tanks burst at, and if so how consistent was it?
