Pressure testing isn’t optional This tank’s done! #garagelife #homegarage #fabrication #metal

What happens here

The video begins with the creator introducing a 30-gallon air compressor tank he intended to repurpose as a pressure pot for a sandblaster. He stresses the critical importance of pressure testing such tanks, especially when dealing with old equipment, to ensure safety and structural integrity before use in high-pressure applications. He mentions filling the tank with water to perform a pressure test.

Goal: Understand the purpose of pressure testing and the intended use of the tank.

What they say

Hide

This is exactly why you pressure test your tank. So, I went and filled this 30gallon compressor tank up with water cuz I was going to build a pressure pot out of it, a sand blaster out of it. And I filled it up with water to do a pressure test and I'll just show you guys. Not sap. This tank is toasted. I'm going to head over to Harbor Freight and pick up a sand blaster so I can get this
