Compressor Air tank Explosion
Posted: Sat Dec 25, 2021 1:00 pm
In another thread I kind of got a Man threads off topic and I apologize.
But He brought up watching videos on how to calculate his Air compressors CFM so I went looking for these vids see what they were about how they were doing it.
Oh I found a few but never did watch them as I really wasn't all that interested in the subject But did get me off topic when I saw a video titled "Air compressor Tank explosion'

This subject to me is kinda fascinating because Air compressors are considered LOW pressure vessels. After looking into this a Bit more Google and you tube have a great many pic and Vids of this phenomenon.

I have never given this much thought, I always thought a Tank just started leaking from pin hole rust.
Cant say more about using auto drains and Staying away from Old compressors.
I will be thinking twice about recommending Used compressors any more.
I am in the Market for a New Tank lol
