Max PSI For My Gun?
« on: February 05, 2012, 04:39:04 AM »
I am not sure of the exact mathematical equation to figure out the maximum pressure for my gun, But i am sure someone with some experience will be able to give it a rough guess.
There are a few older pics of my gun in one of my threads (Click on my guns in my signature to take a look)

I have used pressure PVC pipe and glue.
In total, There is about 47 inch worth of pipe for my tank @ 15mm diameter.

What do you think its capable of? Is there some sort of calculator that will work this out?

With moderate temperatures outside and proper construction, 150 psi is probably the max I'd take it to. I've gone up to 200 psi, but it felt like playing with dud hand grenades.  ;D

Thanks, My estimate was around there aswell.

Still happy with that as my max, I don't want to have to pump to 300+!

I wouldn't go much over 100, 150 MAX.. PVC was not designed for pressure use and neither is the glue that holds it together so I would be careful how much pressure you use.. PVC pip bombs are no fun, believe me
