When Will It Burst? In The Swagelok Burst Chamber - Copper Tubing

See 3/8 inch copper tubing burst, while refreshing your knowledge on how to install a Swagelok tube fitting

Watch the first burst contest video here, and then enter your guess for a chance to win. We will announce the winner in the next video on April 23rd. 

We introduced our When Will It Burst video series on March 26 by reviewing the components involved in Swagelok tube fitting installation. This week the series gets to the fun part. First, we give you a sample of the training we provide in our Tube Fitting Safety Seminar, and then we test the stamina of a piece of 3/8 inch soft annealed copper tubing. Watch the video, then make your best guess at what pressure it will burst and enter it in the comment section below this blog or here on the WWIB? #1 video page. We'll tally all the answers we get up until 12pm PST on Thursday, April 17th. So enter your guess before noon next Thursday. We'll announce the winner in the next video in the series, which will be released Wednesday, April 23rd. While you are at it, why not suggest some other item for us to burst?
