Hi
I have read some fors and againsts the use of stainless steel for boilers. This just came up on e bay and I couldn't resist having a bid. I won it for the princely sum of £4.70 a bargain.
Stainless steel tube 4-1/2in.o/d x 9-3/16in. long x 1/8in. thick
The question is can I use it to make a boiler? I'm thinking of using copper for the end plates silver soldered in. As with my other boiler I would be looking at a working pressure of around 30psi.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Cheers
Rich
