Pipe engineering and design is part of what my firm does. We build grass roots natural gas compressor stations.

Post 79 details preliminary specifications.

We also need someone to deterime if a 9.5" bore is suitable for a 8.6" bowling ball. Schedule 140 pipe would give a bore of 8.75".

Anybody here know which would be better???

This has been brought up several times so I thought that I would ping it again.....

Let me go get my pipe fitters blue book, I'll be right back. BTW, never heard of schedule 140.

And yer experiment could cost ya that limb Son !...............

But do take pictures ! I have been using your escapades in my daily safety briefs..........ie what would Eaker do in this situation boys and girls ? Everybody just nods and agrees maybe theres a better way............:o)

All funnin aside I think you better touch this thing off from behind a sand bag bunker the first 20 or so times. Keep it low power and not try to emulate a monster chunk of artillery and ya should be fine.

Stay Safe !

Well there is schedule 140 but it is not used a whole lot.10"schedule 140 has an inside diameter of 8.75 "with the outside dameter being 10.75 inch, thats a wall thickness of one inch, that should be more than enough I would think.
