It is just a discussion about taking a potentially flamable glass and putting it into a container under great pressure. PSI = Pounds per square inch.
Quote:
The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/in² or lbf/in²) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch:
1 psi (6.894757 kPa) : pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure.

Gases or gases in a liquid phase which become pressurized are potentially more dangerous in that state than at atmospheric pressure.
