my chamber is a 500 mm long piece of 75mm pvc with an end cap on each side, what is the pressure rating for it? (in psi or kpa please)

i am just curious about how much pressure it can withstand befor blowing up in my face , i have only taken it up to 50 kpa

Standard PVC has a pressure rating of 300 PSI...FOR WATER, this comes out to 160 MAX PSI for air. Most people rarely go above 100 PSI. This is for standard Sch 40 PVC. Not sure if that helped.
