About 25 years ago in the factory where I worked we had the 2" metal flexible coupling blow off of a 1000 psi compressor. I was standing within 6' of it and it blew carbon bits in my arm, eyes and one side of my face. The doctor scrubbed my face raw with a brush to get the materials out. He told me later that he had people to hold me down so that he could scrub as much as he could on the first try because it is so painful. To remove the particles in my eyes I had to look straight ahead while the doctor drilled just through the surface of the eye and popped the particles out. I still have a little bit left in there. The compressor was one that was moved from a different location and piped in by the 2nd shift. We wired it up and our foreman even checked the piping out but somehow missed the fact that the relief valve and the pressure switch were not located in the right place. It simply ran until it blew the coupling off. Another piece of high pressure pipe hit the wall about 30' away in another direction. That was the loudest noise that I ever heard.
