[QUOTE="Simon Bridge, post: 5458457, member: 367532"] ... it is possible to have the same tension and different materials. Some rubber is stiffer than others so it requires a smaller expansion to build the same tension. You should know this from blowing up different brand/shape party balloons. In order that the tension is the same, the pressure in the big one must be smaller. Maybe there is less air in it and the material is very stretchy.
