[PSUBS-MAILIST] Ballast Tanks



Hi Dan H,
 
Thanks again for the tip on using pressure washer for pressure testing. I only have completed testing one so far, but at 1,200 PSI no pinholes and no endcaps blowing off.
 
I did have some leakage at the threads, but they are deformed from welding and I have not finished taping them because I wish to coat the inside with epoxy prior to getting cutting oil contamination on the inside surfaces.
 
I did have one funny screw-up. I for got to put a blow-off valve to relieve the pressure so I guess I'll have to carefully partially loosen a fitting and allow it to bleed down as the quick couplers will not uncouple with pressure inside.
 
Best Regards,
 
Jim K
