Question:

whats the max psi of a 1/2 inch copper pipe?

I'm making my second air cannon and have decided to use copper pipe which im not to familiar with.so this leads me to wondering how much psi a 1/2 inch copper pipe can hold?I also would like to know if i can hook a metal ball valve to PVC pipe or are they just not compatible? Thank You

Answer:

Type M, Maximum Pressure 494 PSI for copper tube. Actually it depends on the thickness of the tube wall.
Average ceramic tile is cheaper compared to an average engineered floor.buttile is cold and hard so be aware of the qualities of each as they are very different.
Depends on if you're doing it yourself or paying someone else to do it. The material for tile is much cheaper than for hardwood flooring but it takes more labor.
A 1/2 inch diameter copper tubing can withstand 1000 psi pressure of nitrogen gas used for flushing air conditioner lines. From the Copper Tubing handbook,an annealed Type K, 1/2 inch diameter copper tubing is rated 895 psi at 100F, but drawn copper tubing, Type K, 1/2 inch diameter is rated at 1534 psi.
