Doesnt matter. Actual burst pressure should be 3x the rated psi.

Thats why you dont exceed the rated pressure, no matter what you think the burst pressure is. If he did exceed it and it failed he can't do shit, the company is protected. I'm sure it was stamped somewhere on the tank too. Its unfortunate though, hopefully nobody got hurt.
