[QUOTE="dluehrs, post: 2534986, member: 115673"] One last comment. Compressed anything is dangerous. A factory that was one of our accounts had a 15’ high 10’ wide compressed air ASME rated tank with around 200psi in it. It appeared to be in perfect condition from the outside. The air dryer was not properly maintained. The auto blowdown system was not properly maintained. This led to moisture that led to rust that led to the tank rupturing. It happened during third shift without many people around and was in a separate room with the compressed air equipment then piped through a block wall to serve the factory. When it ruptured it took down much of the block wall. I used to have photos showing the damage. There is a lot of energy in a compressed air system. Have respect for it. [/QUOTE]
