Hey, and another thing, on a more appropriate thread, sorry to post again so soon.

Is it reasonable to expect a container that can hold a certain PSI to resist crushing were that same PSI to be exerted on it's outer surface? For example, an air tank that can hold 300 PSI, would it withstand being submerged to a depth that exerts 300PSI on it's outer surface?

Just a thought,
