This one remembers me an incident from the Army (no shit there I wus). The M1 Abrams tank uses a grease filled hydraulic cylinder and locking collar to tension the track. It pushes the front idler out against the tons of pressure from the track. The M1 likes to throw its track like a cheap date and one time a tank had its track so badly thrown and fouled with dirt that it needed to be broken to put it back on. Think bow string pulled taunt that weights several tons. First step of that is to release the track tension via the hydraulic tensioner. You do this by loosening a banjo bolt that releases the grease. You can probably see the problem coming. With so much tension on the track, the threads of the bolt gave up and shot out of the cylinder body like a bullet followed by a high speed stream of grease... right into the hand of the soldier turning the wrench... and proceeded inside his lower arm almost to his elbow. They had to flay open his arm to clean all the grease out. It was six months before he RTDed. Kicker is that they'd already come out with an "automatic" tensioner that used a poppet valve (I guess this wasn't the first time someone had been bitten by this problem) but in the 90's they didn't have the money to retrofit the entire tank fleet. I'm sure the cost this one incident alone would have covered the price of fielding them...

Nice idea to test the pressure loss across the valve. I think it would be probably easier to add some kind of pressure accumulator thingy on the pump side of the system than try to optimize the valve operation. There is so little of energy stored in to the system on pump side that no matter how fast it's going to open pressure goes down still quite a much before it's flowing freely. Or then use some kind of burst disc design to get really fast opening for valve. And good to remember that adding the pressure accumulator thingy makes this already safe experiment even better so probably good idea to get even longer stick or maybe even rope for opening of the valve :D

If you were to run your hand around to check for leaks, you will come back with a few fingers missing.

[@wills.5762]

Ive heard the same story for working on navy ships with high pressure steam systems. If theres a leak, nobody in the room can move until they find it, and they do that by waving a broom around. They've found the leak when the handle suddenly becomes shorter. Actually read one story, on the interwebs mind so take it with a grain of salt, that somebody decided they didnt wanna wait around for the leak to be found, and went for the door. He found the leak, and it disemboweled him.

This feels like the kind of science akin to early 1900s JBS Haldane who, on subjecting himself to numerous high pressure experiments that kept rupturing his eardrums, remarked: "the drum generally heals up; and if a hole remains in it, although one is somewhat deaf, one can blow tobacco smoke out of the ear in question, which is a social accomplishment."

AvE, firstly thank you for the years of entertainment. It’s been a pleasure watching your antics. I also wanted to take a moment and thank you on a very deep level for this video. A recent industrial accident at my place of work occurred where an individual put his hand in the line of fire. He grabbed a hydraulic hose pressurized to 13,000 psi. The fitting broke and gave him a seemingly minor hand injury. My group runs the day-to-day operation of the plant, but doubles as the first responders. I was not part of the team that met and evaluated this guy. That team saw only a small hole and a tiny drop of blood. The individual felt fine, and was going to be returned to work. Thanks to watching this video two years ago, I immediately advocated for an ambulance and the quick transport of this man to a hospital. He has lost slight movement at the end of his thumb, but will otherwise heal. The doctors said he would have lost his hand if we hadn’t acted as quickly as we did. I thank you for the education, as I’m sure the injured man does, unknowingly.

It would make sense that the down flow gauge would be at relatively lower pressure. If I paid attention during fluid dynamics right, the danger from a pressure line leak is from the ungodly high velocity out of a pinhole leak. Teacher said it's basically a constant liquid bullet. Pressure washers and water jets use high pressure to convert to a high velocity stream for work. There's an intrinsic pressure drop converted to velocity. Residual pressure on injeculation side from unoptimized nozzle design. (I'm totally stealing that word at work.)

[@collinbarker]

Yeah, the pressure on the 2nd gauge should stay at 0 as it is the atmospheric side of the thing. Velocity of shmoo will increase, pressure decreases to about nothing

[@Kenjiro5775]

Yeah, you are correct. At the nozzle orifice the pressure is atmospheric. The pressure inside the nozzle becomes fluid velocity at the nozzle outlet. That was counterintuitive for me, but the conservation of energy says it's just fine.

[@zachary3777]

You guys are all wrong. The second gauge is upstream from the nozzle. In the absence of the valve almost all pressure drop should occur at the nozzle and the gauges should match.

[@mrb692]

When the valve opens, the upstream gauge sees dynamic flow too. The only difference between the two gauges when the valve is open is their positions relative to it.

In the case of my job working in the dirt with excavators, a leaky hydraulic system is easy to diagnose....look for the blown up line that dumped 5gal of fluid on the ground. Or for pin holes on hard lines look for the clean spot where the pin hole cleaned the dirt/dust away. At least that's about 50% of the leaks I have to deal with the other 50% is just bad seals on a cylinder or hydraulic motor. I was told that the old timers used to use a straw broom to check for leaks on high pressure steam system. It gave them a 4ft reach advantage and the straw was easily cut by the steam so you could find even small pin holes.

This is a very interesting video and subject matter. As a diesel engine mechanic, you have the same danger with the diesel fuel injection system. The older and all mechanical injection engines usually have in the neighborhood of around 4,000 psi or more coming out of the injection pump to "pop open" the pintal valve inside the fuel injectors. The newer Electronic High Pressure Common Rail injection engines have around 7,000psi of fuel pressure just at Idle speeds, and as much as 26,000psi at wide open throttle and torque load. Some modified racing diesel engines can have 30,000psi of fuel pressure feeding the injectors. One small pin hole or crack in any of the fuel lines or fittings can be a very dangerous situation.

Might be a good idea to wrap the hose in something. Maybe for a hose with a 1/2in od you could used something like a 1in or 3/4in woven stainless sleeve.

[@kurtfniessl5987]

Can confirm. Used that alot for water jet lines. 40k psi is no joke and I had a line blow in a sleeve under my arm right behind the gun. Saved my life but my ribs and arm were sore for a while.

[@dylanshandley1246]

zukomonitor a burst disc would be a better idea most likely. They’re manufactured to burst wide open at a given pressure so it would hopefully be quick enough with a wide enough opening to let sufficient flow through.

[@dieselmats]

The glycerin damped gauge is too slow to show pressure after valve. You should get a common rail sensor and a oscilloscope.

[@Sam-gl4fi]

That's true, but the second gauge is right at the discharge. At that point the pressure will be nearly atmospheric (0 psig) anyway because the fluid is freely open to atmosphere. The friction of the grease blasting down the pipe is the only resistance and it is still enough to back up ~1000 psi.

I worked as a medic before I got back into working as a truck and heavy equipment mechanic. Only ever had one patient that was due to hydraulic injection. It got him in the palm and it looked like he stabbed himself with a flathead screwdriver. I asked the doc that had him about the guy a few days later. They had to open him up passed his wrist for debridement. Feel awful for the guy but it gave me more respect for what can happen.

Many a moon ago I worked maintenance in a hardwood flooring mill. We had a hydraulic leak in a system that was powered but a 300hp motor. The hoses looked like a plate of shetty. The hydraulic specialist decided the best way to find it was to putting as many eyes on it as possible and power it up. Nothing was obvious in the tangle. He grabbed one of the hoses to move it out of the way. His pinky finger fell to the bottom of the shetty plate and his ring finger was dangling. The leak was a pin hole on the back side of the hose he grabbed. After he was taken to the ER we had to take most the hoses loose to retrieve his pinky.
