I weld one high pressure boiler tubes all day. We hydro test at 4000psi and above. An AC tank is no problem to me.

My welds see 3k PSI, anything after that we electron beam weld stuff. Those welds go up to 30k. I would not weld up rust holes but I would burn the leg back on. :thumbup:

Welding on a compressor....with POLL!!

Welding on a compressor tank....

I'm a hobby welder and I would weld it

I'm an expert/certified welder and I would weld it

I'm a certified vessel (not bikini) inspector and would weld it

I'm a certified vessel inpector and would NOT weld it

I like to tell others not to do stuff

I say, what's the worst that could happen? (and I'm missing fingers)

I freak out when there's a remote possibilty something could go wrong

I'm just reasonable and if something might go boom, I don't take the chance

I'd weld it, then have it tested

I'd weld it, sell it and buy a bigger one
