Man are they heavy, it was a grunt to load them by myself. I am worried about the material and welding them. My feeling is they might be hard to weld safely. At least with my welding knowledge. Your right they would make a nice chamber though. I am picking up my Perry thrusters in the USA on Friday and will give my chamber a go on the weekend. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1439946298762_4336" dir="ltr"><span>Hank</span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Tuesday, August 18, 2015 5:57 PM, Hugh Fulton via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv5178666564"><style>#yiv5178666564 #yiv5178666564 --

They are rated for 3000 psi generally and there are bound to be some at some scrappy’s yard. If you can get a 70 litre or such then chop off the top and weld a couple of plates on. They are at least 10” inside diameter. I have a couple marked for test chambers. Good for at least 5000 ft depth test pressure.
