Hi Attila,
I've been looking all over for such a formula! Thanks.
So if I use:
t = 0.125"
d = 16"
I get 50 pounds/inch
Which means that if I have a bell shaped stainless steel chamber with 1/8" wall thickness I have a safety factor of 3.3! I am no structural engineer but may be I should have a thicker wall so I have more margin, what is your thoughts?
Could you give us a reference for this formula, I think it's a very important formula for this group to have. What about using other materials like aluminium.
Regards,
Alfredo

Hi
There is an equation
P=1000(1-square root(1-1600(t^2/d^2)))
P outer pressure pound/inch
t wall thickness
d outer diameter of the chamber measured in inch
I hope this helps, for me worked!

Hi,
I just got an 16" x 1" thick 1020 steel disc (SS was too expensive) for my new base plate. I turned it flat and to prevent rusting I would like to have it chromed. Is there any objections to chroming the base plate. Is chrome or niquel better?
I now want to make a Stainless Steel chamber and have been wondering what is the minimum thickness I can use for an 14" bell shaped chamber.
Regards and thanks for all the advices,
Alfredo
