I will keep this in mind. Tnanks for the advice. All my joints are relatively samll. Ive got 2 - 1" OD, 1.875 ID pipes that joint together to form a 90 degree angle. And 3 more fittings of the same size that form tee's off of the main pipe. These are the joints that I'm concerned with. I...
Flow rate is about 4 gpm. I'm gonna use .75 id. With atmospheric pressure acting on 3 colomns of water each at a height of 10 inches, this should be about right.(I hope)
I came up with yet another idea. I found extruded acrylic pipe already made in my dimensions. Cheap too! I could cut the components that I need and use solvent to bond the services together. What does everyone think about that. I bought some small samples and I'm gonna attempt a prototype...
So I could pressure form 2 halves of the part, and use one of the mentioned glues to bond them together?? I guess my real question now is, should I pressure form to halves to form a hollow pipe, or use extruded pipe, cut and glue/weld them together. I feel inclined to try the pressure forming...
Thanks, Ill check out those glues. I dont want to use fittings though. This part needs to be asthetically appealing. Thats the reason that I would cut my own sections and glue or weld them. Joint strength shouldn't be an issue because it is only subjected to atmospheric pressure.
I am forming a 1 inch hollow pipe with a 90 degree bend in the middle. The total length is about 20 inches. The diameter is about 1 inch. Wall thickness is about 1/8" but could be as small as 1/16". In addition to the bend there are also 3 tees in the pipe. My first thought was to make...
I work for a company that specializes in titanium sheet forming. Frequently, we use a hydroform, it works great. You might want to look into that. OUr website is www.klune.com.
