leak testing

[Temprite]

I follow the arguments, but, if you ensure that the bottle regulator maximum pressure will not exceed the maximum pressure of the gauge set you are using (common sense I know), then the possibility of an unforeseen accident should be eliminated.

I have had the sight glass blow out on a set of gauges where the reg could not exceed the max working pressure of the gauges.

Admittedly it was my own fault.

Had the gauges hooked up and closed, connected reg and opened valve on bottle. Last person that used reg had left it fully open, momentary inrush of pressure through reg was enough to break glass and send it into my lip.

I always check the reg first and make sure it is closed now.

You can't buy experience.
