55 Gallon Drum: How much Air(PSI) will they Hold

Показать описание
I am building an Oil Burner (Heater for the shop), and I have gathered a bunch of oil and drums.. One of which was damaged.. I figured I would test how much pressure it would hold and see if I could straighten it out.. Someone said, 3-5psi max.. I could not imagine that.. This was the test that I did to see just what it would take.. Cheers! The Results to me were very surprising... Enjoy..

Thanks a lot for sharing your experiment, I was looking for some thing like this.

Death in a can. Actually I intend to make a chamber that goes up to 30 psi.
For oxygen treatment but 10 psi would be enough . I would like to see a new barrel taken to burst pressure.

big thanks for the vids, but if you have time please do actual test, how much that steel drum can hold the air pressure.

If your test is accurate, 15 psi is the max pressure it can take. I would like to know what is the thickness of the tested drum.

What About those plastic 50 gallon drums? Have you tested them. What about if reinforce the plastic drum with ratchet straps ( 3 tightened around the 3 different parts of the perimeter and 2 tightened crossing at 90 degree angles from the top end to the bottom end?

Bet it would make a good air tank if it was poured in concrete.

The question is: how much pressure does gasoline produce inside these drums ?

Yup, how psi drum can hold until explode, and then measure thickness of drum wall

I was wishing you could put up to 35-40!pounds to use it as a water pressure tank

We would put 70 psi to blow out the dents all day long.

As long as they can work at 30 psi, I could use them for my drip irrigation system that runs at 10 psi max

What, are you worried about wasting film. What a stupid waste of time for me to watch your video shows everything except what mattered.

If you missed filming the event, start over. Duh
