I am building some small optical cells that will be about the size of a flashlight. They will contain liquids at up to 6000 psi and and have threaded portholes bored in them for inserting sapphire optical windows.
I have built these in the past and I will contract one of our Mechanical Engineers here to finalize the designs with FEA but I would like to do some initial calculations myself concerning wall thickness and threading of the ports.
I have a reasonable background in physics, calculus etc and have perused a few texts with the theory, but I am seeking a handbook/textbook that would discuss a vessel like this on more practical terms, perhaps with tables etc.
Any help appreciated
Thanks,
Fritz
