I think there are some testing questions. The anvils have the same basic overall shape, but the bridge shape of the soviet anvil's base should have a distinct advantage in resisting top-down pressure, yes? I'm not a physicist, but I believe the arched shape of the soviet anvil's base is a significant advantage.

Interesting stuff. What do you know? Tiny Soviet anvil = good quality.

Russia has the highest quality mini anvils bar none. If you plan on buying a mini anvil to support 50 tons of downward force, there is no substitute. Mini anvils from Russia are the way to go.

wow fantastic vid

I really doubt that in their intended uses, a fetal anvil will ever be exposed to 100 tons of compression force.

I tried this at home so you don't have to.

Considering that anvils are hammered on by humans with a hammer this experiment is pointless.

Wait, so the largest blue whale is 200 tons, I'm surprise a whale could crush an anvil.

Chinese anvil is just part of an old worn out tram line

How has a hydraulic press at home?😂

While here in the west the choice would be a 'no brainer', the Chinese often win out as their marketing is focused on third world countries where quality is less an issue, cheap is the priority.. If someone was really desperate for a 100 ton anvil they'd no doubt supply a hydraulic press that read 100 tons whatever the pressure :>)

If both anvils were sent to Siberia and tested they would explode.

biggest difference I saw between the anvils to start with was Russian was machined steel and Chinese one was cast steel, so wasn't a real good comparison. from what I have read/heard nobody makes iron anymore since 1900s, early 20th century, everything is more or less run through a blast furnace straight to steel now adays.

Real, natural elements versus man-made alloys.

By my observation, the Chinese anvil started deforming at a bit under 20 tons.
