i just wanna ask if someone can send me a 2" SCH40 pipe on 5" with the fittings needed already glued on (one end should have 3/4" threads and the other have a cap glued on)

i ask to test the strength of SCH40 pvc in a hybrid and i will set off closed mixes up to 11x.

and is it someone that can get it REALLY cheap?

it has to be pressure rated!!

i can't get those kind of pipes here and i wanna do a test for you all.

Uhh... why?

-Are you expecting people to send you the pipe free?
-Why are you more qualified to do these tests then any other spudder?
-You most likely would be getting the pipe from the US, and if I recall you live in Europe. (High shipping costs)

Plus what is this test(s) going to prove? We already now that the pipe rating pressure is a lot less then the actual failure pressure. But it is a safety factor to protect against potential defects in manufacturing.

I just don't see a lot of rational behind your post.

i did not say free. but it would be like free here since pipes is so expensive.
i am not more qualified to do it and i acctually did say nothing about that..
the shipping will not be to bad

we know little about the ability PVC has to take shock pressure..

and last, i want to know how your pipes is and how much they can take against our DWV pipes to find out if i can make my first PVC gun and feel safe on it

and what would the price be where you live?

did it clear it up?

Yup, it is rated, but I might have trouble shipping it because of my parents, and how long a piece do you need?

I have about a foot right behind me, but to find 2 inch pressure rated fittings is a little bit harder.
