Ooops!
This was sent to me at work, from the States I think. The water drain hadn't been used in a while, and the receiver [cylinder] failed.

Looking at the receiver I don't think the compressors WP was much above 4-6 bar...1/50th of what we carry on our backs.

Do not piss about with maintenance.

A lot of damage for a low pressure system.

I did see a picture once of a car after a diving cylinder had failed while in the boot, there wasn't much left of it, the car.

We should all probably be a lot more careful than we are around compressed gases.

Shamelessly copied from Nigel Hewitt who did the maths
Energy in a Scuba Tank

Quote:
So for a 230 bar 12L tank we have 230*12*450 Joules. 1242000 joules!
<SNIP>
In metric units the tank contains the energy in 300 grams of TNT. A normal hand grenade has about 150 grams.
Hum. That works out at 650 grams for my 10L twins at 300 bar.
Just behind my head? Now I see why people worry about it.

Iirc...
the old pressure regs used to apply to anything over 250 bar/litre, but I think that has been lowered now.
