a series of questions
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2016 12:22 pm
mostly relating to safety:
i have heard of the safe pressure level for pvc being 100-150psi regardless of vendor-stated rating; is there an effective formula to determine the actual safe levels for piping of a given id, thickness, construction and material?
is it safe or worthwhile to make a "double reservoir", where a large reservoir would connect to a smaller one via one valve, and the smaller one would feed directly feed into the barrel, but with a second valve separating the barrel from the smaller reservoir (allowing one to effectively split pressure off of the larger reservoir and *possibly* allowing for multiple useful shots off of one charge?)
thank you!

Code: Select all
where "<=...>" represent reservoirs, "o" represent valves, and "-" represent the barrel:
