Title: Gamo Urban Air Tube
Post by: Backyard Shootr on November 23, 2019, 01:22:55 PM

I want to make a new air tube for the Urban out of aluminum tubing. Question: Is 6061 2.5mm wall aluminum tubing strong enough to hold 232 bar or more? The tubing I have is 30mm OD 25mm ID x 500mm.  I also should ask if the threads for the fill probe will hold?

I tried to calculate the burst pressure but I'm not smart enough to figure it out.  :'( Every time I tried I came up with a different figure.  ;D
