3 forum posts	Say 16swg copper tube between 50mm to 100mm diameter as in the simple low pressure model steam engines. I had copper discs for the ends in mind say 3mm thick and silver soldered. Hope this clarifies a bit ,

795 forum posts 34 photos	Published designs of most Gauge 1 boilers with 60psi working pressure and boiler diameter 50mm + are usually copper discs let into the boiler tube and silver soldered or just simply butted up against the boiler tube and silver soldered. I usually use 2.5 - 3mm thickness. Mick
