experiment:
Hydrostatic burst test results
Conclusions / Analysis
- The burst pressure for most 2L bottles was similar and
in the ~160psi range. The 1.25L bottles mostly burst around
the ~180psi mark.
- The 600mL bottle did not fail, despite having reached
215psi. This was the limit of the pressure source.
