Does a decrease in psi require a decrease in diameter?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Caron Nov 25, 2011. 9 Replies 0 Likes
My favorite hoop has been a 38" diameter, 3/4" 160psi HDPE. I recently made one exactly the same but with 100 psi instead. I've hooped with it a few times now and it feels cluncky to hoop with,…

that is correct. It's possible to get lower PSI stuff that actually weighs MORE. But, generally if it's the same material, it will weight…"
Caron replied to the discussion 'Does a decrease in psi require a decrease in diameter?'"How would one figure out how much smaller to make a lower psi hoop? You know how with bra's there is a "sister size"...for example a 34D is almost the same as a 36C. Is there a "sister size" or formula…"

Tink in Tokyo replied to the discussion 'Does a decrease in psi require a decrease in diameter?'"Not a requirement, more a of personal preference, but you have the right idea.

My favorite hoop has been a 38" diameter, 3/4" 160psi HDPE. I recently made one exactly the same but with 100 psi instead. I've hooped with it a few times now and it feels cluncky to hoop with, especially chest hooping. My 2 smallest hoops are a 36" 3/4" 160psi and a 35" 3/4 PEX.
