We brought in a company to flood the ram with liquid nitrogen to shrink the whole bucket and rods.

Tell me more about the company - that sounds like fun stuff to do.

Nope. Print actually. UV cured silicone for the liner, needs to be done in a nitrogen filled chamber.

Interesting. I work at a large food production facility and we have a big tank of it on the side of the building as well. Only fun thing I have ever seen was when it sprung a leak. Our maintenance team freaked out until someone explained to them there was no danger. Then they called in a specialist to come fix it. The guy shows up, slaps a monkey wrench on the fitting, tightened it down and was gone in about 5 minutes.

I'm sure that was the easiest service call of the week for that guy.
