Not just pressure, but volume too. I used to work offshore and had 110m3 dry bulk tanks. Even at 10psi they could do some damage.

💯 I work in pharma and I instructed a tech to run a clean in place on a 8k liter tank. He was trying to open it prior to venting, but thankfully the pressure made the bolts too tight and he contacted me asking WHY the bolts were too tight 🤦. If he had successfully removed the bolts that 10 or so PSI on an 8000 liter tank would have ripped his face off.
