It needs to be able to hold testing pressure to 5,000 psi and I envision it to be roughly 2 foot diameter and 3 feet long or similar size. Any suggestions on how to build this? I am trying to do everything I can to keep the cost down on it. <br><br>Thank you,<br>Scott Waters<br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455566137234_3456">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455566137234_3395">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
