    Pressure vessel made with a metal tube and a clear polycarbonate lid

    @OmCheeto , @jrmichler , if the MIC6 3/8" thick plate I'm using on the bottom is sufficient (again not sure what formula for that), could I maybe use that on the top as well instead of poly, and get a small sight glass insert? I've got a small camera with it's own light source I could mount...

    Pressure vessel made with a metal tube and a clear polycarbonate lid

    @OmCheeto , thanks! In the video, he mentions using engineering formulas to figure out what thicknesses needed and he was expecting much higher pressures, implying this was overkill. I can't seem to figure out what formulas are needed to determine what thickness you'd need of polycarbonate (or...

    Pressure vessel made with a metal tube and a clear polycarbonate lid

    The tube I'm using is 6" long, 6" diameter and .5" wall thickness and made of 6061 aluminum. The bottom is a 6" diameter, 3/8" thick MIC6 Cast Aluminum Disc. The top I TRIED is a 6" diameter, 1/2" thick clear polycarbonate disc. Both top and bottom are bolted on with a 1/16" buna-n o-ring and...
