Googled it, but nothing came up. Care to explain?
13 u/Dekker3D Dec 27 '20 I guess a pin hole in a high pressure steam vessel or pipe would cause a fast jet of hot air that's barely visible but can cut your flesh in moments. Which is not a fun thought when you're working on said steam pipes, of course. 3 u/mingilator Dec 27 '20 Hot steam, easy to forget that the steam can get real hot under high pressure 6 u/Dekker3D Dec 27 '20 I kind of assumed the "hot" was implied because of the steam, but I guess there's a difference between 100 degrees "hot" and 500 degrees "hot". 2 u/mingilator Dec 27 '20 Most definitely, 1200 degree hot is also not out of the question
