Would it be safe to use smaller diameter sch40 pvc because its rated at a higher pressure
Just becasue it is sch40 doesn't mean it is rated for pressure. It should say nsf-pw, but it all depends on if its for a barrel, chamber, or just parts.

i wouldn't use pvc on a hybrid period, regardless of thickness or pressure rating. i just don't believe that plastic can handle the pressure. i think it should be made of some sort of metal.

sure, just tell me where to get it and ill test it... i was talking about sch40, as noted in original post. i just dont think any standard sch40 pvc can hold the pressure.frankrede wrote:How about 2" inside diameter 12" outside
hi, I guarantee that it would hold anything you throw at it.

I doubt it could take a "little" flash powder.How about 2" inside diameter 12" outside

2" and below sch 40 pressure rated PVC is fine for barrels in my opinion, but only up to a 5x mix (which is a s high as I have tested 2" and 1" pvc pipe), otherwise your risking the barrel bursting. As a cahmber I would say just pay the dough and get a metal chamber.

Something I want to try to make some ammo.

If it burns before melting, remove the oxygen!VH_man wrote:PVC does not melt into a liquid, it more burns from my experience. but solid PVC ammo would be pretty cool. or mabey solid PVC endcaps. mabey melted PVC is my new epoxy..........
Melt it in a vacuum or in a space filled with CO2, N2 or He or any other nonreactive gas.
