MatchFuzee Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 1 megapascal = 145.038 pounds-force per square inch 0.3 megapascal = 43.5113 pounds-force per square inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxy Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Check the vessel , there may be some factory marks on the shell , Design pressure/ Max. working pressure + Test pressure. If so important - I would expect to find some data. Seems a good Tig weld procedure used - so probably is important. Repeated proof testing not always sound idea , probably not required for lifespan (whatever that is) so + 25% seems realistic. I would think the factory test would be 1.5 x the maximum working pressure for 1/2 hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks I am about to renew all seals if required and before fuel us some soapy water and put a test on, will be interesting to see what the pressure reads after the priming pump is used I think its 6 strokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
