I stated in that other thread you should not recommend using pvc for this. Yeah people do it and it works, but pvc creaps and eventually fails.
When it fails it fractures into shrapnel much like a pipe bomb that you're holding next to your face.That is fluid pressure rating dumb ***. You can't run compressed air in pvc, you need to use poly ethelyne. When it fails it is ductile, as in it getts a little bubble that pops and safely vents the pressure. Ever see a natural gas line run out of pvc?
Get off your high horse and realize you know ----
*Not saying pe is safe for this ----, but safer than pvc [\disclaimer]

and you're testing fluid pressure rated pipe, with near burst pressure of gas.
you're talking about pneumatics, call the owner of the largest spudgun related site a moron for stating that pipe isn't all pressure rated; ever hear of cellcore -------?
and if you're going to pull quotes off of mcmaster carr, at least get the RIGHT TYPE OF PIPE
Color
Transparent
is not dyed pvc.
go play knowitall on the forums there, you won't last a day.

look queer. that rating is also for a long period of time. constant pressure. in the time I built potato guns (built a ---- load of them) and the ---- we used to ---- up:
1. PVC never let us down
2. we have put up to 300psi in the ----.
3. we almost always used between 150-200psi
4. nothing ever failed on us. not the valve stems, gauges, valves, glue...
5. we sold the ------ things for $200 on a constant basis. people would stop us (me and my buddy) in a frickin parking lot "hey are you the guys who makes the potato gun's"
6. because the asshats on that spudtech site say it cant work...doesnt really mean ----. There are many sites & forums out there who say a volvo turbo cant work on a honda, mitsu injectors dont work in a honda, mitsu intercoolers wont work in a honda, its all been proven wrong time and time again.
I would glady go on spudtech and give my $.02
heres a gun I built for my brother while I was at home 2 years ago:
that ---- launched a potato a little over a half a mile on 200psi. You can see our chamber.

just watch the pvc as it is only a water rating and blows up pretty visciously. It usually only happens if you get a decent nick in the barrel or chamber and get the potato lodged. that was my only piont to complex as he looks down cause you 'don't even use pressure rated pipe'

you guys dont even use PRESSURE RATED PARTS with your '200psi' pneumatic guns.
and by the way, sch40 fittings aren't rated over 150psi.

Re: a proper safe potato gun (per spudtech.com)
since when does PARTS say PIPE?
it doesn't. i never ONCE claimed anything on pipe.
only thing pipe related i said, was cellcore, which is clearly NOT rated for anything other than dwv applications
