Hello all-
New here, But I have an interesting question that I've gotten a lot of conflicting information on.
12" Sch. 80S (.5" Wall thickness) 304L Stainless steel. 24" long. Welded on both sides.
Can it withstand being 1 mile underwater (2,350 PSI external) assuming standard 1ATM inside?
Follow up questions-
A. If not, would up to two vacuum rings welded to the outside solve the problem?
B. Would matching the external pressure by depth- I.e Filling the inside of the pipe to closely match external pressure- solve the problem?
How greatly is external water temperature going to affect strength- assuming around 30F
Thanks!
