Hey,

does anyone know the thickness of regular SCH 40 PVC pipe, or maybe where i could find it. Im at school right now and i dont have the tools to take an accurate measurement. I need it to analyze my mini cannon that i built.

Just trying to put some engineering and physics to good use.

thanks,

-Eric

Here is a really useful page that I use all the time.

Welcome to spudding man! If you can get around to it post some pics. Good luck on what ever your doing.

Thanks alot for that link. With those numbers my calculations show that PVC should be a fairly safe material. I dont want to list the numbers that i got just incase it is wrong, but it seems that the people that made PVC have built in a fairly big factor or saftey. (But you must keep it out of extreme temperatures.)

Ill try to get some pictures of it. But it is just a basic "compressed air" gun.

You went through all that work for that? You could have just researched or asked simply, "How much pressure can PVC hold safely?"
