Welds: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, Or The Beautiful

Finally finished up the pressure vessel Ive been working on. Started out with some 3/4” plate and some pipe, ended up with this big bastard! It weighs in at almost 8k lbs. IMG_0279.jpg

That’s fairly low pressure...

That what I thought. The last half of 2019 I spent building a coil that is going to be hydro tested at 14,800psi. And it didn’t have anywhere near the reinforcement or wall thicknesses as the tank I just finished. So I asked one of our engineers why the overkill on the tank and his reply was that by pipe standards 458psi is low pressure but for a tank with that much surface area it’s a lot. Idk, I just build the stuff[emoji106]
