Its funny, for electricity you need licenses, certifications to work with it, years of on the job training, due to the risks.

Im not saying there should be more licensing bs, i just think hydro is underestimated sometimes. Just be smart. Glad he wasn't hurt.

I think I would take a section of pretty thick steel plate and weld it to the back of the "arms" and then weld it to the back of the i-beam as well to help spread that load out. That's a lot of pressure you are planning on building and I figure the more square inches of weld to spread that load over the better. Especially with the leverage that's going to be generated on the front side.

Hi Zach, Really enjoy your videos as they hit real close to home for me. I have a couple of shallow producing leases in Texas that produce around 1/4 to 1/2 b/d of light sweet paraffinic oil with very little water. Its an older field and as such I have some wells that need to be plugged. You mentioned in an earlier video that when you plug well you use poly pipe and I was wondering if you could show a video of that being done or if you could show how such a rig is built . Thanks for what you do and try to stay out of this heat as best you can.

Haven't finished the vid but first clear mistake is the way your connecting pieces won't stand up to very high loads from the cylinder. Joints should be cut-in then fitted together then weld around the joint just to keep it from moving but the weld shouldn't be bearing the load.

@gullreefclub
Жыл бұрын
correct me if I am wrong the cause of the failure was because the piston was fully extended and when Zach “put the beans to it” the piston bottomed out against the cast iron cylinder head and the forces being directly (metal upon metal contact of the piston upon the cast iron cylinder head) was greater than strength of the cast iron used in the cylinder head. Without having the spec sheet of this particular hydraulic cylinder my bet is it was rated for a much higher pushing pressure (as long as the piston was not over extended and bottomed out again the cast iron cylinder head) than it is on retraction of the piston. This is why the tube of the and the end cap of hydraulic cylinders are is made out of steel and not cast iron because the tensile strength of higher than that of cast iron. Parting thoughts while adjusting the pressure relief is probably a good idea personally I think I have to wonder if a limit switch to prevent the piston from over traveling and have metal upon metal contact again
