Because water is virtually incompressible under the conditions, the failure of a water-pressure-tested tank tank results in a sharp pressure drop which is immediately detectable. Pressure is then released. As a rule this means the failure never reaches the point of even a small explosion. I worked in a factory that produced compressed gas cylinders. Not only were the tanks under test filled with water; they were submerged in a tank full of water. Pressure was applied until either the test pressure was reached and successfully contained; or a pressure drop revealed failure. What actually occurred in a failure was that some part of the metal tank began to *_stretch._* This resulted in an automated response that opened a valve to release pressure almost instantaneously. As far as I ever witnessed, at no time did the test ever result in an actual breach of a tank under test. There was usually no visible indication of where the metal had failed. The chrome-moly alloy of which the tanks were made was key to their strength and to their stretchy mode of failure.

If you are wondering how I screwed it shut with an incompressible fluid inside like water, some water leaked through the threads as I was screwing it on. So why didn’t the water just leak out when it froze? Because it freezes from the outside in, so the threads froze first so it self-sealed so that it held in the pressure.

In the years before explosives, they used to mine granite by drilling holes into it, then filling those holes with water, plugging those water filled holes with waxed wooden plugs, and waiting for winter. The continuous freezing temperatures would cause the water in the holes to freeze, and expand, which would crack the huge blocks of granite loose from the solid vein of granite rock. Very high pressures, indeed.

The explosion wasn't from the ice formation. Though ice formation exerts a lot of force and will break a lot of rather durable things, it is a slow-and-steady sort of deal. The end of the pipe was forced to break, but it didn't go off like a gun. The explosion was from the molten-hot water pouring into the basin of liquid nitrogen and vaporizing everything in the pan almost instantly. All the nitrogen returned to its gaseous form, and expanded wildly.

It expands by around 10% its volume, and there's quite literally no force we know that can resist its expansion ( not a force on the planet ) as a plumber of near 30 years there are few things ife not seen destroyed by pipes freezing. Latent heat energy of solidification ( freezing a liquid into a solid ) is 144 btu or 151,9120 joules Latent heat energy of vaporization ( boiling a liquid into a gas ) is 970 btu or 1,023,350 joules If you've never heard of latent heat before its worth learning about, you may see the entire world differently after :) For reference a sneeze is approximately 50 joules . If the person has a vital capacity (amount of air in a full breathe) of 3L, that air weighs about 3.6 g; to push the body backward with 50 J of energy.

We do this at work on a weekly basis to perform cryo scanning electron microscopy on hydrated samples. The goal is to freeze the (small volume) of water so fast that the ice that forms is vitreous (non-crystalline) in order to avoid damaging the microscopic structures we wish to observe. To accomplish this, we put the LN2 under vacuum until it turns to a slush, break the vacuum and quickly plunge the sample into the LN2 and reestablish the vacuum. In this manner, the water flash freezes, forming vitreous ice that not expand as it freezes, thereby preserving the integrity of the structures. The sample is then transferred under vacuum to the SEM chamber where we manipulate the temperature and pressure to cause the vitreous ice to sublimate away, leaving the frozen structures visible to image in the microscope. Cool video, and nice discussion on the phase diagram of water. Glad you got that blast shield up just in time!

Once I was a science teacher at a private school. My supervisor, who was supposed to get lab equipment and text books, had failed to do so all semester long. So, I had to make up my own experiments. It was really hard because it was my very first semester teaching science, so I had to learn lots of other stuff for the first time too. The children asked me to use a fire extinguisher and a pillowcase to make dry ice (I think they saw it on Instagram). I got it to work the 2nd try. As I was passing the dry ice around (I had gloves for them to wear, and told them not to hold it for very long even with the gloves), one of the children suggested I put it in a plastic bottle to see what would happen. I immediately knew that the bottle would fail if I let all the dry ice melt with the cap on, but I thought, "It will probably 'pop' after a few minutes. I just need to make sure nobody's holding it when it pops". However, I had underestimated how strong the plastic bottle was. There was a point at which I could see solid CO2 ice floating on top of liquid CO2, which I thought was pretty cool. If I had been thinking, I should have unscrewed it, but you know young children are naughty and always getting into trouble, so I was distracted. I threw the bottle into a plastic bin, set it behind me, and forgot about it. A few minutes later, it exploded right behind me as I was talking to the children. The trash bin was totally destroyed. It was like 2 feet behind me when it exploded, and I said, "holy ****". Nobody got hurt, but all the other teachers in the building heard it and I got in trouble. * In hind-sight, it was pretty dumb. My only excuses are that I wasn't given the resources I was supposed to have, and I had to make up everything on the fly in my very first semester as a science teacher. So yea, this guy is totally right. Trapping a gas in a container is dangerous. The size of the explosion will be proportionate to the strength of the container. *I was made to sign a paper saying I had done a dangerous experiment outside of the science classroom without safety equipment. I wrote above my signature, "the science room was occupied and there is no safety equipment." I gave it to my supervisor and she looked mortified. She was a middle-aged woman, who I don't think really cared about anything other than covering her own butt. She completely failed to do everything that was her responsibility (get science textbooks, lab equipment, apply to renew my visa, etc), and I had to do these things for her. I think the paper she gave me was meant to put all the responsibility for the accident on me, but my note completely destroyed her intention, because she was responsible for getting the lab equipment. She let me go after the first semester (causing a lot of stress for me, since I was living in the country on a work visa). She said this accident was the reason, but I think the real reason was that I had to go behind her back to do her job for her (getting my own science equipment and getting somebody else to help me with my visa, etc), and she was embarrassed. So anyway, the lessons from this story are that spontaneous science lessons with children are a bad idea (you don't have time to think through all the consequences of your actions), trapped gas is dangerous, and beware of making middle-aged women who are your supervisors look bad (they will be vindictive and won't take responsibility for anything).

Interesting question but the answer given at the end of the video starting around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="422">7:02</a> is quite off the mark: As the dense ice phase starts to form it will tend to lower the pressure in any closed vessel, whether real or ideal. So its formation will be strongly self-limiting. Instead as cooling continues, the pressure will then decrease to follow a phase equilibrium (mixture) of mostly liquid with a small fraction of "dense" ice. The pressure will not be able to rise again until a temperature, where some "regular" (hexagonal) ice starts to form, is reached. From there the remaining liquid fraction will freeze into a mixure of mostly regular ice and some small portion of other (dense) ice phases. Once it is all solid, it could never be all dense ice, as that would not produce any pressure inside the containment vessel, and therefore could not be stable. Instead some major fraction of regular ice would need to be present for any dense ice to have even a chance of remaining. Ultimately as temperatures cool further the regular ice will transition to ice XI (see chart at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="360">6:00</a>), and so you would end up with a mixture of mostly ice XI with probably some small fraction of ice IX.

Solid hydrogen hydroxide becomes liquid under pressure and reverts to solid when pressure is released. Therefore, with no room to expand, the liquid form remained liquid regardless of temperature until pressure was released at which point the compound becomes solid.

It would be difficult for ice to protrude out of a crack at such high pressure. The ice froze around the sides, which created an enormous amount of pressure. Any crack would have water streaming out at far too high a speed to freeze in a little protrusion. Unless the it froze after spewing out. I guess that's possible. Regardless, the sudden explosion was cool. I was expecting it because I've seen an almost identical experiment done, in person, at University.

Wishes and energy aren't what you need.... The worth and dignity of a soul is measured by what it delights in! And delight/happiness is our highest desire. Men have killed to have it. Kings have gone mad trying to find it. Wars have served it. Affairs have worshiped it. We all seek it. Sadly, billions have died without discovering its secret... namely, that joy is not an it, but a He. The Gospel is the good news that sinners can delight in a Holy God. It's the good news that all of our deepest desires are satisfied in the ONE who sent His Son to bring us to Him. . God is so valuable and so satisfying that the most loving thing he could do for us is to make Himself gloriously indispensable. He is the only being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is the highest virtue. Therefore, God's commitment to be glorified and our goal to be satisfied are not at odds but come to simultaneous consumation in the worship of His Son... who took upon Himself the Wrath that God had towards us in our sinful disregard of Him. A wrath that could never be appeased through man-made religion. Jesus didn't die to turn the world into a paradise, he died so that we could stop seeking paradise in the world... Temporal things such as beauty, popularity, money, sex, racial identity, gender reassignment... can never truly satisfy. BECAUSE WE WERE MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE! We were made to gaze intently into the Eternal Beauty of a majestic King, Father, and God... meet Jesus the Christ. Life is hard, God is good, Glory is coming 😊...

If anyone is interested in the practical applications of ice containment, I worked in a lab researching this stuff for a couple years, so read on. It turns out that if you bring water under 0°C in a suitably indeformable chamber, the pressure becomes too high for the water to completely freeze (we’re talking high subzero temperatures > -20°C, not as cold as liquid nitrogen’s -196°C). This leaves two phases, one liquid and one solid, inside the chamber. What’s great about this is we can use the subzero liquid phase to hold sensitive biological material, like a transplantable organ. This keeps the organ much colder than you can keep it on ice (and therefore more fresh), you don’t risk destroying it by ice forming inside it, and you don’t need to submerge it in toxic cryoprotectants. All in all, confining freezing water can help organs last longer and be transported farther to help save lives. It’s neat stuff and we think it’s one of the most promising technologies to address the massive organ shortage in the world. Google “Isochoric (constant volume) Cryopreservation” for more info, including the design of chambers that can actually prevent ice from expanding ;) Also much like in this video, most of my research was conducted by throwing our very expensive pressure vessels in liquid nitrogen to find out what happens. We managed to blow up one machined from a solid block of titanium, ice is serious stuff... Happy to try answer questions if you have any!

It would likely still explode (depending on volume.) 620 mPa is over 89,900 psi. I've been looking for about 30 minutes, and the best equipment I could find (comparable in the size used in the video, assuming 2" pipe,) is *HiP Series "R" Reactor* vessels, which have 5" 4340 Alloy Steel walls for a 2" inner diameter container (overall diameter of 12".) This is rated for 100,000 psi.

My first thought is with the vessel completely under water, you can't screw the cap on completely - the water's inability to compress will prevent it. So you might need to allow a little air to remain. My second thought is that some food coloring in the vessel will show us when it leaks. I would venture it will begin leaking around the threads as soon as it starts freezing.

I'm going to say the same here as I replied to the channels comment as pinned by Action Lab. If you did this same experiment in a regular freezer the outcome wouldn't be as extreme ( or as near to watch) as it was in this video. The pipe would most likely still burst but then it might not because it wouldn't be freezing at such a fast volume and I believe that's is what caused the fast burst. It out was to freeze slower the results would most likely change drastically. I say at best the pipe would just slowly crack open a little and the ice just sort of ooze out a little. Still this is a great channel. Cheers to all.

Try the same but put it in a container in the regular freezer. That way you don't expose the metal to potentially big temperature differences. If I remember correctly most iron alloys become brittle when below -25 C which it may very well have been in your experiment. In a regular freezer and especially if you up it to -10 C that'll not be an issue and everything will fall in temperature very uniform and it'll ice inside the container much differently from the top down (because ice floats).

Metallurgist here. The ductile to brittle transistion temperature (DBTT) of steel is generally between -10C and 0C, depending on alloy. You dont need anything close to liquid nitrogen temperatures. You could do this experiment in a freezer, or using dry ice with the same result.

Hey this actually gives me a SUPER COOL IDEA !! The RMS Titanic operated because it had 3 main engines... 2 double acting, 4 cylinder triple explansion steam engines and one low pressure parson turbine... What if you could make a "sterling engine" that used the transiton of water from the different phases in the ice direction to extract energy from the fluid instead of water to steam? So the pistons have an insanely huge amount of torque as the water cools into ice and expands the piston, to repeat the process again?? It would be interesting and super efficient because you are using the temperature difference between a super cold source and room temperature rather than a boiler

Omg what a coincidence. I was literally reading about this topic a few days ago, and i was so mind blown about the power of water. To think that expanding water can break anything which comes in its path, even steel and rocks which r so rigid. I was in so much disbelief that i took a 1 L steel water bottle and filled it upto the brim with water and then left it overnight in the freezer. And the next day, i was just shell shocked when i saw that the water had literally teared up a hole in the bottle. Then i did a whole research and found that by tweeking the temperature and pressure, scientists have created 15-16 different species of ice. Wow. But i have a doubt. If i take a bottle made of diamond and then do this experiment, will the water break the diamond too?

It depends on how thick the diamond is. It would either break the diamond, or freeze into a different form of ice that is denser than usual ice.

Diamonds are not very resistant, it's only very hard. If you scratch a diamond with anything but an other diamond, it will stay intact, but if you hit it with a hammer, it will break in a million fragment. So no, it will not work with diamond if it do not work with steel.

@@pierrotA actually i just did some research on diamonds now. What i concluded was that diamonds are very brittle and can be shattered to pieces only if the impact is very sharp. They have to be hit on their pointed tips to be shattered, but in case of expanding water, the impact is not sharp. The pressure exerted by the water slowly rises and is uniform in all directions, so i think that the diamond should be able to withstand that pressure, and the water should freeze into a different species of ice

@@DANGJOS I cannot be sure because I find no similar experiment anywhere, but i'm still pretty sure it would failed. The diamonds we can buy are very precisely cut to remove the imperfections. If you take an enormous diamond, it will be full of imperfections that will break pretty easly. If the diamond is too small we seem to agree it would not work. If we could create a perfect diamond bottle with very thick walls, then maybe it would be possible... but even then i'm not sure the diamond would not break on a weak point (like the top screw) and explode in a billions pieces.

When I remember correctly from school, water is the least dense at 4°C (normal pressure) and after that it rises in density. I don't know if it would be ever possible but I think with hotter water filled in the container, it might be possible to freeze it and don't break a container. On the other hand it should be possible to fill 4°C Water in a container and then let it warm up and the container should burst or buldge.
