Let’s say you have a inflatable device and a hand pump. So instead of turning off an air pump once the tank pressure reaches its max operating pressure, the pump continues to run.Ĭould this be a more likely danger to system failure? Let’s say that a portable compressor’s pressure sensor fails somehow, and it misses its cut-off pressure. That is, well before a holding tank bursts, what else could happen? I don’t think it’s so much the risk of the air tank failing, as there should be a sufficient safety factor built into its specs, but perhaps other components could be more susceptible to damage? If a portable air compressor is rated to say 125 PSI max, you don’t want that tank to build to 250 PSI holding pressure. Yes, a safety valve prevents tank pressure from building up past its recommended and tested pressures. I hope you don’t mind, but I need to think aloud for a bit, meaning none of this is at 100% confidence and should be considered as my opinion and not safety advice or complete understanding of any kind.
