We could say this about any of the materials that we are using for all of our

tanks?They are rated to be filled to 3000 PSI. And for those who don't
know, these tanks are not light.

Hi,
You can get DOM tubing -- that is Drawn Over Mandrel. That is seamless and is
also somewhat expensive. DOM is not to be confused with extruded tubing.
Usually aluminum tube and shapes are extruded, but it is also done to a
limited extent in other metals.

Hi,
I think one of the main considerations is if there would be any porosity in
the weld.
Also, when working with brass or other alloys of Copper, work hardening can
be a mixed blessing. At my shop we often refuse to accept deep drawn, deep
stamped, or "spun" pieces that have some age on them.

I can gas weld it though, with very small tight bead.
Bob
a workpiece 3 inches
long? I cant. I think Charlies very correct on this ..fabricate using
mechanical assembly with O ring seals and verifiable materials..
As a point of interest in oZ Propane tanks are scrapped at 10 years age
unless they pass a mandated inspection so the corrosion issue is

ction sheets, but they
are full of the most obvious things because people are suing just because it
isn't there. I was at a model show once where this guy was cutting throw
away propane tanks in half and welding them back together to use in his steam
boats, now that is what I call unsafe!

Since in the US we have higher availability of Propane than Butane,
shouldn't we start asking manufacturers to provide Propane rated tanks?
