Detailing Safely: Pressurized Containers
Join me in learning how to keep safe when dealing with pressurized containers. There is a lot of misinformation and bad practice happening with these, so I'd like to shed light on why we need to proceed with caution.

Pressure Washer Hoses - Does Size Matter?

Feel free to fast forward through the beginning of this video as it is meant to describe hoses and their basic specs when shopping for them. The nitty gritty starts later in the video. Link to the hose calculator to estimate pressure drop: www.gates.com/us/en/knowledge-center/calculators/fluid-flow-pressure-calculator.html Use the value "1" for Specific Gravity and Viscosity.
Don't Use Cleaning Units, Use These Instead
Переглядів 78Місяць тому
An equation is used to calculate Cleaning Units, but it doesn't represent the cleaning power of a pressure washer. In this video, we take a look at Impact Force. A couple quick notes: 1. The relationship between Pressure and Flow Rate is not linear. This relationship can be found when calculation kinetic energy for the stream. 2. Power = PSIxGPM however, PSI and GPM are not the correct units to...

Ever wonder how foam cannons work? Why does one foam cannon foam more than another? Take a little technical dive with me and learn how they work and what can affect your foam output.

Great tips Steve. People especially need to be careful adding schrader valve to a sprayer that doesn’t have a relief valve.
Thanks J! The DIY schrader valve builds I have seen are pretty sketchy.
That was very informative and appreciated! Will definitely do a Keg Sprayer/foamer via a brand new keg from a beer keg distributor to maximize safety and longevity! Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed! I consider Scott Graves (The Detail Guy) to be the resident expert for detail kegs - he sells a really clean setup, but is also a wealth of knowledge.
Perfectly informative! Thanks for this.
@@RemedyAutoDetailOfficial appreciate you watching! 👊
Great Info Steve! Keeping plastic container under pressure weakens the vessel. Also to note many plastics do not show up on an xray machine. So if one were to go boom and fragment everywhere its hard to find all the pieces inside your body.
All great points!
I like ur style!
Thanks Becca!
Nice 👍! This is topic we don’t think about or talk about prob enough. We can take things for granted and it can go wrong fast.
@@DrivewayDetailswithBecca 💯 agree. Thanks for tuning in Becca 😎
Thanks for the video! And so handsome!
@@sheepstardetail I’ll slide my OF link into your DMs 🤣
@ messsssyyyy
Thx for this.
Thank you for tuning in!
Good Stuff ! Love the attention to detail. There's a few variables at play but I agree that the amount of soap drawn by the siphon tube plays a big role. Never thought about the orifice diameter inside the manifold. I'm going to pay attention to that. thx
A couple weeks ago I drilled out the PF22 siphon to see if it would take up more soap for thicker foam. And well, it did! I have gotten some feedback since I made this video, and it seems that these cannons that have super thick foam also pull soap out of the bottle at a quicker rate. Thanks for tuning in!
Outstanding video, too bad there is a maker of keg sprayers that sells 150psi relief valves for the corney kegs
This is OK as long as everything else is rated for 150psi. But if they are changing the relief to something that is at a higher rating than the tank...huge red flag. It's not worth the risk. I appreciate you watching!
@@StevePierson123 I don't know of any Corney Keg that is rated at 150psi all of the ones I own or have built for friends are rated at 130psi
@ 😬 sheesh
Great information! Thanks for educating everyone about this critical information.
My pleasure Bruce. Just trying to contribute whatever I can to the great world of detailing, I hate seeing anyone get hurt. Always honored to have you hanging out in Steve's Garage!
I hit this 👍
Thank you!!!
Great important, often forgotten or ignored topic Steve!! Thank you!! Love the out take!! Lol
Thank you Adamo! Hahaha glad you enjoyed the end
Well done!
Thank you Yvan!
Also people don't smell chemicals directly from the bottles.
my powers come from smelling detailing chemicals directly from the bottles! … except coatings that’s too hardcore 😜
@FrankoDetails I have a new bottled scent, Do you want to try it?
First!!!
YES!!!
Nice job! I’m seeing marked improvement in your video skills. And, you seem much more comfortable in front of the camera.
@@Bruces-Garage thank you Bruce!
Nice video Steve! Stuff like that always went over my head and that was the first time I could wrap my head around what PIR is and how to calculate it. But what benefit does knowing provide?
@@attention2detailswchelsea it would benefit suppliers and detailers. PIR eliminates most of the variables leading up to the barrel of the cannon. This means regardless of the combination of pressure washer, foam cannon brand, etc… running a 1% PIR on a Kranzle vs 1% on a Ryobi would net a similar foaming experience. For manufacturers, they would no longer need to give a range (ex. 1-4oz in a foam cannon) that we need to figure out. Suppliers could just give a single PIR and that would put the detailer very close to the foaming sweet spot.
Share your insight on ADS!
@@attention2detailswchelsea great minds think alike. With the snow coming down hard I was thinking of doing exactly that 🤣
Interesting test Steve! Great video and editing by the way really enjoyed it
Thanks Chelsea! Means a ton coming from you 😎
Great experiment
Awesome video Steve! Gonna have to try this out! 🎉
Awesome video Steve!! So is that orifice modified forever? I haven’t looked on my MTM, but are they replaceable? Any chance you took a measurement before drilling it? Might be interesting to see if going in small increments to dial it in to make it even with some of the others on the market!!
@@AdamosGarage Oh yeah, this was a forever change 🫠. I don’t have pins so I didn’t measure beforehand. The only thing I measured was the mixing rate. I definitely overshot it, but there might be a sweet spot.
you’re a madman, a madman i tell you! 😜🐿️💨
@@FrankoDetails Hahaha I’m pretty darn vanilla compared to you! 😎
@ did you just say darn??? you’d better watch your darn mouth gosh darn it 😆😆😆 … lol if we’re comparing then i’m just the halftime show and you’re the super bowl 🤘🏽🐿️💨 can’t wait to see what you got cooking for the next episode!
I've taken you PIR / total output measurement video and found ANOTHER use... I weigh the BEFORE bottle of soap, use it with the Griot's Garage BOSS auto-mix system to foam the whole vehicle, then weigh the bottle AFTER... voila, I can accurately state how many ml of products were used. Thanks, Steve.
@@AMI_Detail that’s awesome, I’m so glad you’re finding it useful!
How about opening the MTM to the same size as the MJJC and then run the same soap through them and see if they have the same performance.
@@69HemiRoadrunner that would be a cool test to do! However, I’m not ready to part with my MJJC just yet 🤣
Very cool Steve. Be cool to find a smaller bit and try. Nice easter egg at the end peeping 🤣
We have a regular M. Night Shyamalan on our hands... Had to go back and rewatch to see that those little eyes were there, watching, the whole time! Keep it up, Steve.
