airtight Stainless COTS box? 1

[engrnick]

Hi all,

Totally random question here.

I'm looking for a commercial, off the shelf stainless steel airtight container for our research project. something that can handle maybe 5-10psi (this is probably an over estimate) for a flow test that we're doing. we'll drill the holes ourselves, but we need this kind of on the cheap.

any suggestions?

Same source, but threaded pipe fittings to make up your container?

What size box?

thanks all,

I ended up going with a bud enclosure NEMA box.

i'm hoping this'll seal enough for my needs. it's going to be less than 1-2 psi inside so I'm not really too worried.

You do realize that box isn't stainless steel like you asked about in your original post?

yeah, I was told that I no longer needed stainless, all the gases used are in such small values corrosion is not an issue - sorry about not updating this.
