Never see it done at 100psi. The main danger you would have at 100 psi would be the pipe blowing up in your face when heated cherry red. You are not going to get a fireball or anything. Just metal blowing up in your face.

30psi is 3 atm as most gauges measure from one. 3 on the inside pushing against one from the outside. Guess we can argue that.

Still incredibly dangerous stuff. You would probably get away with air, as the nitrogen would act as a suppressant, but using nitrogen instead of air is certainly safer.

30psi gauge is 2 atmospheres. There was mention of 80-100psi earlier in the thread.
