You would think that machine designers would know better, this is a distribution block from a flavouring system, product is pumped through at a minimum of 8 bar and they made it from 40 x 40 x 1.5 stainless box section, as expected it has flexed the sides and split down the corner,
I had to do a quick temporary repair to get it running so just ran a weld down the corner to seal it up,
Then set about making a new one, this is sched 10 stainless pipe, domed end caps welded on 1" weld nipples shaped to fit, purged and welded up,
A bit of a clean up and couple of pipe clamps to mount it on the machine rather than that tinny looking bracket,
