Those aren't air tests. Those are liquid tests. "Please do your research".

What is the difference between gas pressure and liquid pressure? If they are both Force/Area, how do they make the material fail in one case, and not in the other? Does it have something to do with the rate of expansion of a gas vs. a liquid?

Does it specify that they are liquid tests, or does everyone in the thermoplastics business just know that gas pressure is not liquid pressure?

I don't want air cannons blowing up in my face.
