that cylinder. In reality, we understand that the Recommended Suppressor Bore Size
bore of the can will allow gas to escape, and
reduce the blast chamber pressure. Bullet Velocity
THEREFORE, this calculator should be used as
an approximate idea of the max length/volume
you'll need for a blast chamber. This calculator
assumes a direct thread attachment to firearm
muzzle. A muzzle device like a flash hider, or Outputs
brake, will obviously take up blast chamber
volume and increase the blast chamber Max SAAMI Chamber PSI

300 Blackout This is the cartridge you want to suppress

Titanium GR9 This is the material you plan to make the suppressor out of
1.5 This is the Outside Diameter of the suppressor you're designing
1.42 in This is the Inside Diameter of the suppressor you're designing
1.5 This is an idea of how much safety factor you want, 1.5 is standard, less is more risky.
0.04 in This is automatically calculated
75 % Metal gets weaker as it gets hot, this is how much weaker the metal is due to temperature
0.308 in This is automatically calculated
0.378 in This is the recommended hole size to be drilled through baffles and endcap
2000 ft/s Muzzle Velocity of the cartridge you chose

55,000 psi This is the max chamber pressure of the cartrige you chose
0.100 in^3 This is the volume of the case of the cartridge you chose
1.515 in^3 This is the volume of the case + the volume of the barrel for initial expansion
3700 psi This is the pressure inside the barrel the moment the bullet leaves the barrel
5550 psi This is the "effective" pressure inside the barrel, it is affected by the safety factor above
4320 psi This is the maximum pressure your suppressor can tolerate before it begins to stretch
0.431 in^3 This is the minimum BC volume needed to drop muzzle PSI to something safe for your can
0.500 inches This is a rounded number representing the length of your BC
3645 psi This is the pressure inside your blast chamber with the recommended BC length
