Quite right, Daniel. Tom Jensen Sr. hydro tested one of his boilers to 700 psi. It still didn't fail and he felt no need to press on as 700 psi was well more than enough. 

I have seen this boiler. It stretched a grew but no seam gave out. They still have it at Jensen and they will be happy to show it if you visit the factory.
