That'd be quite a lot more work to be honest, because you'd need a pretty accurate internal volume measurement, which would take a lot of time and effort to pull off properly.psycix wrote:You could also determine difference between the volume the whole tank takes up and the inside volume.
Don't underestimate the rubbish dump...
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Or you could just look for a pressure rating.Ragnarok wrote:That'd be quite a lot more work to be honest, because you'd need a pretty accurate internal volume measurement, which would take a lot of time and effort to pull off properly.psycix wrote:You could also determine difference between the volume the whole tank takes up and the inside volume.
I'm just saying it's not 1cm thick. That would make it ridiculously overengineered for its purpose, and if you wanted a high safety factor, a pop-off valve would be an infinitely cheaper and more practical option.

You're most likely correct..I'll get a measurement with digital calipers next time I'm down the shed.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Or you could just look for a pressure rating.Ragnarok wrote:That'd be quite a lot more work to be honest, because you'd need a pretty accurate internal volume measurement, which would take a lot of time and effort to pull off properly.psycix wrote:You could also determine difference between the volume the whole tank takes up and the inside volume.

Though in all honesty, a fridge compressor won't phase it in the slightest.
Will edit in the thickness, going to check it now.
Edit: just checked it, It's around .45 cm thick. Still, It wouldn't phase me to use it as a pressure chamber for a fridge compressor at all. It withstood 250 psi hydrotesting (no leaks either), would have put more into it but without pulling out a shock pump or getting a fridge compressor I wasn't able to..

You should hydro-test it higher.
Note that it is always good to have a safety margin between your highest hydro test and the working pressure.
