    Link: CIP Minimum Barrel Wall Thicknesses - a help towards safety

    Help towards safety of pressures if your tinkering involves a barrel.

    This PDF is no longer on the CIP's website, but the Internet Archive has it on the "wayback machine":

    The C.I.P. guide above mentions type 1, 2, 3 and 4 steels, with Type 4 being the highest strength.

    "Type 1 steel" is NOT mild steel, but is up to twice as strong as mild steel.
