I added the Ballistite pressures to the graft above, using the estimated Lead Crusher Pressure (Cp) conversion to PSI (pound force per square inch)
(Cp x 1.5) - .5 = TSI, TSI X 2240 = PSI
32 Gr Ballistite (1 1/8 oz at 1232 fps muzzle velocity = 3 Dram Equiv.)
Breech - 2.9 Tons per Square Inch (UK, Long) = 8624 psi
(2.9 x 1.5 = 4.35, 4.35 - .5 = 3.85 TSI, 3.85 x 2240 = 8624psi)
2 1/2" - 2.2 Tons = 6272 psi
6” - 1.2 Tons = 3718 psi
12” - .81 Tons = 1602 psi
18” - .33 Tons = 1120 psi
24” - .21 Tons = 694 psi
