5,000psi or around 3,400metres pressure chamber

<< < (2/2)

Jonny:
Probably was the bolts lenghening and quite surprising how these things can stretch under pressure.

Have seen a few mishaps and very bad workmanship over the years, worst one was brass 1/4"BSP stud with a drilled and tapped 1/8" BSP up the inside with a 2Lb cylinder hangng off intended for 232bar. It blew at 70bar, moments before i was handling and looking down it. Some people just dont know what they are doing, glad you do.

Sir, do you want your watch testing for leaks :clap:

Thanks I spent quite sometime working out the possible pressure that could be generated so made sure the chamber walls and top plate was over built, chamber walls are around 32.5mm (1.28inches) and top plate 20mm (0.78inches).
