- Our 150 ton hydraulic press exploded a hydraulic line while trying to figure out how many paper books can you crush in one crush! Luckily we got it also repaired in this video by fixing the hydraulic line.

I forgot to mention on the video but it's amazing that the press has kept working this long without any problems! This is first time when something else than the press tools break. I will check other fittings also to make sure that they are ok but I think we now ready for the next 6 years of crushing after this service :D
I’m glad nobody was hurt when it blew
I guess it was not a single event that caused that connection to break - but more like material fatigue from the like 100's of pressure shocks from all the stuff that have exploded when crushed, haha. But nice thing that it was easy to fix.
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 Machine failures are one reason why I want to be always behind the blast screen while crushing. Luckily most of the hydraulic lines are on top of the machine so you are not risking injection injuries even standing next the to machine.
Don't forget Lauri, that a pulp explosion did break the handle ring off of one of the large table pins.
@@WoodworkerDon Yep but that was just for decoration, as you can see I haven't fixed it :D
Considering how this is really the only issue you’ve ever had with press after all those dozens of explosions and pressure shocks, I’d say you’ve definitely gotten your money’s worth out of it. It really is a well-built machine.
Say what you want about them, but sometimes the Russians really know how to make tools & equipment!
Also, those hose connectors wont be that much expensive, its practically the same thing on most of garden hoses, just made of metal to be stronger .Yea, you are right ;)
@@netsurferx1 Id say thats pretty much ALL the soviets knew how to make; heavy industrial stuff.
@@HowieDue416 it seems so. Even their trucks/big rigs are pretty stout. They've even won in their class in the Dakar rally...Multiple times!

Please be extra careful with compression fittings. I know a fellow tradesman who lost an eye because a ferrule wasn't correctly seated, causing the tubing to eject under pressure. The fitting manufacturer will specify how many 'flats' past finger-tight are initially required. The body of the fitting is rectangular so you can use a second wrench to balance the torque as you turn the nut. After seating the ferrule, disassemble the connection to be sure it's correct. Every time. My tube-bending days have past but there are lessons I won't (can't) forget. BTW, keep up the good work on your channel!
I would use a digital Torque wrench and manufacturors settings...
Well at least he left the danger zone before applying pressure. I have no idea if this particular pressure fitting was specified to require a particular torque or a particular tightening angle (in 60° steps), or if the local hardware store provided no information and no manufacturer reference, as is unfortunately common these days.
Round 'ere we call them olives.
A ferrule would be what's crimped on the outside of a flexible hose, if it's a ring, compressed into a rigid pipe by a nut, it's an olive.
Thats UK, where are you?
And either way up, I thought that flared ends, as he said was there originally, are a stronger fitting....
Also attach the fitting before tightening the joint, he should have put the metal part on the pipe rather than screwing it on the joint. Also move the fitting closer to the joint, that's why there was extra space.
Flats?
When Lauri says "This looks bad" it is always good. 😁
Bad for the press but good for entertainment :D
@@HydraulicPressChannel The press generates great pressure AND great views. 👍
Their accent when they say those things always reminds me of Marcus Grönholm saying "up in as**** of Timo""
@@HydraulicPressChannel there's no such thing as "bad press" 😂
"This looks bad" would make an exellent t shirt
Without Hydraulic Press Channel, we all wouldn't know that books explode in a hydraulic press.
It appears that the smaller the stack of books, the more energetic the explosion. Also, I like the wide-angle view,. It gives a good perspective of what happens to stuff when it leaves the "press box."
It makes sense; the smaller the stack of books, the less "give" they can afford
Unbelievable what pressure does to paper.
Amazing how WORDS CAN HURT?
And what it does to hoodralic presses

@@JETJOOBOY huh😂
"you won't believe what pressure and heat does to coal !" :)
Thank you for showing the repair process. That was really cool to learn about!
I really appreciate all of the work that goes into showing us all of the aspects of crushing things. Most people wouldn’t take the time to setup a ladder and film and explain the fix.
It’s that kind of authenticity that makes this channel really stand out.
"This is probably a bad idea"
A minute later
"More books, more explosions. Great idea!"
I love your way of thinking 🤣
That was extremely impressive, and i loved the new camera angles. I'm also glad that the breaking had an easy fix. 💪🏻
U should use 2 wrenches when tightening fittings like that ...Prevents damaging the other plumbing!
That was my thought too.
Yeah I cringed when he didn’t back the other end up with a second wrench.
I didn't think to cringe when I watched it the first time. That likely means that I missed out on the full effect of this video. Darn it!
I'll re-watch it now and apply an appropriately cringeworthy posture to my being.
Thanks for your enthusiasm in encouraging us passive viewers extract more bang for our buck!
I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. Quite a few times the press has been under massive pressure that suddenly released. And I was even wondering last week if the pressure difference was enough if it would create cavitation bubbles (i think that's what they're called) like what happens in water. You've seen the trick where you smack the top of a bottle of liquid and it breaks the bottom of the glass? It's the cavitation bubbles created and when they explode it pops the bottom off with a shock wave. So I wondered if hydraulic fluid could get them, if so, at how much pressure.
The long awaited day has come at last
I'm always amazed when books/paper explode under pressure. I'm sure it was poetic justice that books were able to break your hydraulic press.
I am still amazed at the explosive power of paper under compression.
Lauri, I would consider replacing the hose with the tube (looks like MS/Flareless/Ferulok) with one that has a flared female fitting to begin with. The less joints/connections the better. I'm not a big fan of compression fittings myself.
Nope. Not a fan of compression fittings either
You're almost beat-matching with those book explosions. It started to sound like the 1812 Overture. But crushing Twilight was a real service to humanity.
We all miss Anni. Very much.
Hi Lauri, in Australia that type of fitting is called: Nut and olive compression fitting. Thanks for all your great videos, I always enjoy what you post.
I think you are spot on with the reason why it breaks. The pressure might go over what the machine is made for when the table bounces up. This way I once destroyed a concrete pump with a tiny high pressure washer. We put 110 bar on the pump cylinders while there should only be 80 bars max. Which then resulted in 480 bars on the hydraulic system which is made for max 350 bar max. Unbelievable that a hobby high pressure washer can destroy a mighty machine like a concrete pump. But hey. Pressure is pressure. Never underestimate pressure. 😅
It always amazes me when people just fix broken stuff just like that. Its like whatever happens it can always be fixed. Im looking forward to 6 more years here on this channel!
This is actually one of my favorite videos so far just because i got to see and learn a bit about the inner workings of the press. Also i feel like you could sweep up the majority of that paper and sell it as eco friendly confetti!
I wonder what kind of confetti you could make if you crushed a huge stack of colorful construction paper?
We finally see into the belly of the great Green beast. 👌
The piece u repair with was a compression fitting/crush sleeve fitting. they work very well.
Commonly known by it's brand name swagelok.
Are they better than flared ends?
@@dougaltolan3017 No. Flared ends prevent the line from slipping out of the fitting.
That’s why compression fittings are illegal to use in automotive brake repairs in the USA, too many lines slipped out after a cheap repair and people lost their ability to stop the car. Now all brake lines and brake line repairs MUST have a flared end.
@@300DBenz Thanks.
UK here, and I've never even heard of compression fittings for brake pipes.
I asked because I thought Lauri implied that it used to be a flared end....
@@dougaltolan3017 no jic fittings are the best followed by double flare fittings in my experience. Just my opinion. (23yrs as a mechanic cars to hd trucks) And yes I would recommend double flare fittings for hydraulic brake lines but compression fittings work perfect for air brakes. Much lower pressure.
That is amazing!! I never would have imagined books would explode like that.
Always love your videos Lauri, maximum destruction and maximum fun.
I could see some classical music timed to your book explosions like a soundtrack to a fireworks show. This is far more entertaining. Thank you
The Power of Knowledge
I just love this guy, 😂😂.
Thanks for taking us along during the repair!
It's so interesting to have a more detailed look on the press
definately one of the coolest video's so far!
the last books were the best. it looks like many small explosions. really great, thank you
"Ohhh Nooooo" :) ...A gauge on that lift hose might get you an "explosion scoring system" for when jumping moose and gopro are otherwise busy -- something to record peak pressure. For what it's worth, I greatly enjoy the wide-angle (overview) footage showing the mayhem that makes the mayhem. Enjoy the sweeping up, and Thank You!
Something like that could be great. The pressure sensor already gives great information, but having a way to measure the explosive force (I don't know physics very well, but this is different than just the static pressure, maybe it has to do with acceleration?) would be great, especially in cases like these.
Your taking hydroolic line hammering to next level.

@@Purple431 He pronounced it "hi-drool-ic"
this might be my favourite of the many videos. showing some maintenance on the press and just kind of hanging out with the fans. :)
With all that paper flying everywhere i have to wonder - what takes longer: the cleaning of the workshop or editing?
Just out of curiosity, we as the viewers get a bit of an idea as to how loud the bang is when the books explode. How loud is it in the work shop and maybe next time you do a test like this, could you incorperate a decible meter into the equasion to get an accurate measurement as to how loud it is.
I’d love to see a loudest crush episode.
This reminds me of a book by George Orwell called 150 Tons where they used a hydraulic press to explode all the banned books. A cautionary tale.
On this time.. Literature WINS!
I've always wondered what the whole press looked like. I like that wider view.
7:34 Can't help but wonder if "The Moscow Vector" being selected for crushing was not an accident.
I really liked the more distant shot of the exploding books. Wouldn't mind some views from that angle when popping stuff that explodes like that. I don't mean the dangerous explosions, just the paper sort of explosions.
Yeah, it was really cool.
Thank you so much for including the repair process - that was so interesting!!
Maintenance is fun. You would probably enjoy some restoration videos too, they take something super beat up and broken and make it like new again, usually a great watch.
Love the addition of the wide angle shots. That's a lot of chaos!
Awesome!
Books is indeed one of the most fun things to crush :)
"Words can Never Hurt"?
BOOOM
This is why i like this channel! You have big explosion that brakes the press. You then fix the press, move the table up and down a few times and then go now lets do more explosions! haha.
Masterful!!!
I wonder, have you ever considered applying a high fidelity audio setup to record some of these sounds? Surely there are electronic and industrial artists who could create some wonderfully heavy tracks with such features as hydraulic droning and exploding books 😅
But what sort of gear could withstand the power of the decibels produced... If not traditional microphones then piezo transducers?..
regular condensor or dynamic microphones are fine, pretty difficult to break with excessive levels. it's all about the preamp gain to get a signal that doesn't clip.
Get Mark Rober's giant megaphone, aim it outside and see how many miles the sound carries. (I'm sorry, kilometers)
It isn't that hard to get good sound actually and don't require any special type of microphones.
But the problem is that one could probably still not just go buy a good microphone setup. Most of it is either directional "video microphones" - that picks up almost nothing but midrange frequencies. I think the mic he uses on most parts in his videos is the "Røde video mic" according to what I have seen (so it's not the built in mic in the camera actually - but that mic is so poor that, it's hard to tell the difference between a "slightly above average" built in mic or that one).
The other alternative is studio microphones that usually have a terrible "off axis frequency response". They get away with this on typical studio recordings (where all relevant sounds is right in front of the mic). But a sound like this with a large press in a workshop with sound reflecting surfaces everywhere, it will sound like there is a carpet or thick blanket put over the mic...
I have taught about to make a video about the setup I have built with Primo EM273 capsules
- but have been to lazy, since it requires a lot of drawing of instructions how to build and schematics drawn how to power the capsules the right way to avoid distortion at high SPL and build a fitting preamp. I don't know if he would have use for it anyway, since he have said in other videos he is not very familar with electrics and electronics.
The best audio without having to build stuff your self is probably to buy 2 of those mics meant to be put on the shirt - but instead mount them free in the air (with just a stick holding them) on the camera with 30-35 cm between (to get stereo). Those have good "off axis" frequency response. The self noise is usually high though and they often can't handle high SPL very well either - but, they are probably still the best you can get, without having to build the setup your self.
If I ever get to to visit him in the future (which I had taught of, since I live rather close - in Sweden), I will indeed record the sounds with my setup. I also have better image quality (I have no high speed camera though - but filming up to 60 fps, I have slightly better sharpness and much higher dynamic range between darkest and brightest parts without over-/underexposes).
@@Speeder84XL Cooooool! Thanks for such a thorough and thoughtful response. I do very much hope you have this opportunity to bring your setup to Finland and collaborate on a production 🥳
@@Speeder84XL Lol what a complicated setup.
Just grab two Sonarworks SoundID or whatever and record through those, typical omni measurement microphones can handle 160dBA no problem and they're excellent for picking up all sorts of detail.
They work fantastically for recording rain or foliage sounds too.
I'm absolutely certain a pair of cheapo Behringer ECM8000 would work just fine as well.
I doubt that with these, an M23 or even more expensive mics would do you much good, precision and flatness is not something you care about for just recording some samples.
Thanks for the video and as always thanks to the editor
the force those little hoses can take, is amazing😮
For some crazy reason this is oddly satisfying to watch. Don't know why you do it, but to each their own! Cheers
I love the Instant Confetti you get from the exploding books!
Compression fitting, good sir. Hope you tightened it all of the way.
i always imagined my man was using some kind of remote mounted valves but he's just using strings🤣
I'm amazed at the power in those explosions. I never woulda thought books could do that
brilliant video , who would have thought books would explode like that , nice video .
1:31 It's a paper blizzard! Christmas has come early!
Thats such a cool demo of newtonian mechanics 👌 seeing how much those press plates jumped they must of been pushing hard.
imagine being one of those authors and seeing your novel exploded so brutally lmao
That's a very expensive way to make confetti... 😂😂😂
Having once been used to pad train wheels, paper is quite elastic before failing in shear.
Man, paper does not hesitate to show its unhappiness under pressure.
Enjoying the wide angle shots 🙂
Nice Fix :-)) theres some serious stored energy in those pages :-))
Round of applause for the great ladder setup 😂😂
Really like the commentary, some things transfer from country to country. Thanks for the videos.
Next experiment: how many sheets of paper does it take before you get an explosion? I like the way you do science.
Ever heard of Reader’s Digest Condensed Books? Now you know how they make them. ;-) Great stuff as always, Lauri.
Jens Lapidus does NOT approve this video
I kept you saying ‘oh shit’ as a ring tone. Your videos are always epic
Its a metric fitting, very good, no flaring tool needed but very hard to work with on larger hydraulic tubes when on site
We always see the entertaining videos, while I am sitting here being happy I am not the one who has to do the cleanup of the shop afterwards! :D
the way the metal plates moved apart in the last one shows the force of the paper exploding!
0:46 'these are like'
*looks at spine*
well that's just good accurate journalism 👍
LETS GOOOO. Freaking love your videos man. Always wondered when the objects being pressed would break the press instead 🤣
exploding things has to put some serious shock loads on the machine. That it's survived all you've put it through is amazing.
Amazing! Truly amazing! 👏👏
You know when he cusses an octave down & slowly it can’t be good 😂
I like how nobody is talking about how he completely twisted and kinked the line with the compression fitting, stopped filming to replace it and carried on. 😆 🤣
The right way to fix is to have the hose to have the correct fittings at each end already.
You used a flare to compression adapter. When tightening [and loosening] line connections, you should use a backup wrench.
Boys love to blow up/destroy things.
i've played your game in Android.. and now i subscribed to your channel!! 🎯
This is about the most attention to a acutal paper book I seen in awhile. It's great
Kudos to the press we all love. It is an entertaining machine.
Greetings Lauri and Family. Always enjoy your shows and commentary, and views of your shop. No surprise the Ludlum book exploded. Lots of energy in his stories. Except the bottom Ludlum tale has such a strong plot, it even survived crush attempts!
One of these days we are traveling around Finland, will wait for things to calm down first.
Your ice festival where you cut a giant turntable in the frozen lake looks fun. I'd love to try placing a big 4 wheel drive truck with R side wheels on the turntable and L side on firm umm... ice. Could the table be spun that way?
Good Luck, Leon.
My Finnish friend sent me a pint of Kossu in the mail and my friends and I drank most of it and other liquid bad decisions last night. It just feels right that a Finn is also helping me on the road to not being hungover. Thanks for the video, hope life is good.
I know those fittings as swagelock fittings, although I think that is more of a brand than a type of fitting. My father works as quality control for a company that deals with high pressure gas systems for use in the oil and gas industry (they make precision machines for testing the gas to see how much moisture etc is in it for example) so I'm used to seeing the scrap parts and such
wow! What a way to spread the word!
Lauri you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Pressure fitting hand-torqued to spec. I liked it.
This week on The Hydrologic Press Channel.
Beyond the press... Quite literally!
You could have exploded hundreds of Steven King books and nobody would shed a tear
That's quite a confetti machine you got there!
What a cool view behind the scenes!
1:58 Man your reaction got me, something about it was hilarious lmao
Excellent only one trip to the hardware store. The video was great too!👍🤷♀️😁
I really like that wide view you used to show the hose busting. You should use that more often for the more violent reactions.
Following your content from germany for years, I just noticed that I work in your Hometown Tampere atm.😀 Sadly im leaving soon, what a nice place to be!
Might be a good idea to put an accumulator/ attenuator in line to absorb the shock of bigger crushes.
This is the comment I was looking for, the system should absolutely have one.
0:54 - "I found that these explode better".
- crazy hydrualic press scientist about what he thinks about books. xD
Excellent document shredder, all schools and embassies should have
Proof that knowledge is POWER 💥
Those books have some explosive dialogue 🙈
I love you making messes for my entertainment!
I'm glad it was not a bad break
