That's a good point. As a former welding inspector I agree.Quote:
Looks like the weld blew out on that tank. A weld, if done properly, should be stronger than the surrounding metal. I question the quality of that weld.
But this makes me wonder which welds on which of our compressors have been done properly. That's one reason my shop compressor is in a separate room. Maybe air compressors should be encased in reinforced concrete or kevlar wrap.
Did anyone else ever read the label the little portable tanks we buy at Walmart to carry compressed air from the shop to the lawn mower? Mine has an expiration date. I'm sure they would point that out in court.
