Blew a gasket on a 300 psi hydro test in Baton Rouge and learned the hard way about warming up slowly
Fired the pump up cold at 6am last Tuesday and popped the relief valve gasket before we even hit 100 psi, so now I crack the bypass and let her warm up for 10 minutes first, anyone else get burned by rushing a cold start?

Cracking the bypass at 6am beats the walk of shame to tell the boss you blew a gasket before 100 psi. Ten minutes of warm up is cheaper than a tow truck in Baton Rouge traffic.
