engineeringtoolbox . com/pvc-cpvc-pipes-pressures-d_796 it says that 4" pvc's maximum safe operating pressure is 133psi. the smaller the size of pvc the more pressure it can hold. but at the same time i use a 2" schedule 40 that is rated at 280 yet the website suggests only 166. the site also gives the pressure required to burst the pipe. but as others have stated its pretty much up to just taking to a blast chamber and finding out for yourself lol.
Please continue to tinker and make more neat devices like this one. Make sure it doesn't blow up on you though :) I'm going to check out your other creations. Good luck.
Thanks friend, unfortunately I recently moved and have not set up my work room as of yet. I am new to you tube therefor not many videos but I will post mere after I finish working on the new house and have time to do more... creative tinkering.
I think it would be a good test to take a piece of SCH40 and cap both ends, put it in a blast chamber and compress it till it blows. My compression chamber is made of 4" SCH40. Also I have heard that when it blows up it is "shrapnel" like and was wondering how true that is as well.
I think this should be tested by someone seeing how many people are building this sort of thing.
Go 120 MAX!!!! But other then that your safe
