I have a pressure tank (50Liter) with removable top cover rate at 140psi, will I able to use it as a mini autoclave at around 100 psi of pressure?
Remember, heat will change specs on a tank. Seals also have to hold pressure under the heat. Granted, this has been done, but also a specially designed pressure vessel.
You also have to account for any bagging/tubing connections, safety valve releases, etc.
the pressure tank is rated at 150C and I am planning to heat up until 130, what do you guys think?
This might be of interest as well. http://www.compositescentral.com/showthread.php?t=4536&highlight=build+autoclave
We talked about it awhile back. not sure if it was ever completed?
