Pressure vessels are everywhere, from propane tanks to subsea pipelines. Pressurized fluids can exert enormous forces on the walls of the vessels that contain them. In this video we’ll explore how engineers apply simple mechanics principles to ensure pressure vessels can safely contain their contents without risk of catastrophic failure.

$The Explosion that Changed the Pipeline Industry Check out https://sendcutsend.com/efficientengineer/ to get custom parts delivered in just a few days. On September 9, 2010, a pipeline exploded in a residential neighborhood in San Bruno, California, killing 8 people and causing huge amounts of destruction. This video explores fracture mechanics - the main tool engineers use to predict and prevent this type of failure.
