Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany | Freezing pipes & soda can science demonstration // Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany @YeanyScience | Uploaded February 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
The physical change of water to ice can exert a tremendous amount of force during the freezing process, somewhere in the range of 30,000 pounds per square inch. That's 15 tons, wonder water pipe don't stand a chance when they freeze. A few metal pipes,fittings and soda cans are put to the test to see if they can withstand the powerful forces produced during this change (they can't).
