How much pressure will it be able to take before it is broken. Have you ever heard of a burst disk? This is a "valve" that will open at a certain amount of pressure. I'm trying to determine if there is any formula for calculating the pressure needed to open a burst disk. The material is not...

As in air pressure

Would this apply to pressure as well, instead of another object pushing on the material?

What I'm trying to do is determine the surface strength of a material. I'm not sure if Barlow's formula would apply, as it's not a tube, but rather a flat surface. The pressure will be exerted on a particular spot on the flat surface. How can I calculate this? For the record, I'm asking...

What I was asking above was vapor pressure. Can anyone help with a formula to calculate the vapor pressure in CO2 (or anything for that matter)?

I'm trying to figure a formula to determine what the pressure is in a CO2 bottle, while the liquid is still present. I am familiar with a CO2 Dynamics chart, but would like to know what the pressure would be at any temperature. So far, what I have found through numerous hours of searching...
