I know that sch is not a pressure rating, I was wondering the minimum pressure rating I should use if I decide to make this. I will not be using any burst disks or pistons, just a simple combustion with low propane mixture fuel.

The pvc was pressure rated (don't recall what though) would be a good pressure rating to aim for (would it be like Gun Freak said with 120 psi) with using shots of propane for the fuel? On a side note I thought that the only pvc that wasn't pressure rated was ones that don't have a sch rating or foa...

Building a new cannon

I was browsing for some parts for my new spudgun I noticed some 6in pvc. The only problem is that it's SCH 35, would that be sufficient for a combustion chamber (will be using metered propane, no pressure mixes). Thanks
