This is far outside my wheel house, but... Surely it's the pressure differential that dictates the burst pressure? So if you had multiple sleeves, each decreasing in pressure as you get closer to the outside, this could be possible?
- saagarjha 7y agoI'd expect that for a pipe under high pressure but small pressure differential compressive strength would matter much more than tensile strength.
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoYes, it's the pressure differential that matters, but I don't think it helps in practice. Each pipe needs to have a ratio of inner to outer diameter of at least 100. If the innermost radius is 1 mm, at three layers the outside radius of the biggest pipe is 1 kilometer.
