How much to get this fabricated ? 1

I basically want to go to a certified welder/ metal former and get a 80L Canner made, about twice as big as the highest AA.
Thought I might even be cheeky and ask them if they can pretty much make me a replica out of titanium... But bigger! And a little bit of steampunk. I'm in no rush, might put 50 away a week until I can afford it.

let me know if you ever end up doing this! The biggest obstacle I can think of is the seal and lid, but you could probably get one off an old PC or glovebox (meant for vacuum but solid enough for the job),
Best of luck to ya! I suspect you're looking at $1000's but that's not based on any prices I have in front of me.

it isnt so much the cost of the fabrication that would get you it would be the required engineering and approvals. Pressure vessels of any kind are a very highly regulated area.

I know more than a few pressure ticketed welders. Any welder is going to ask you for your dimensions before even guessing at a quote. Draw something up and maybe I can get you a price for it being built in Canada. Metal isn't cheap and it changes daily so once you figure out your dimensions you can find out how much the materials cost. Then it's consumables and the welder's time. The more you do the less the welder has to other than weld so if you want it cheap do as much as you can.

Probably 10k or so for a custom built 80L canner. Less if you know someone. To have it machined from titanium would probably be more like 50k. Most of that isn't materials or labor but setup fee.

Probably be more effective to build one of those walk in auto claves that big companies use.

This sounds like an expensive endeavor BUT machining something new is always very pricey! I've always been curious about having an air tank modified into an autoclave. I feel like it would still be pricey but I cannot imagine that it would be anything close to the estimates for making something from nothing!

find a good welder, i'd be nervous it might explode.. it be cheaper to get a pre-made autoclave sterilizer..
 also 80L is pretty big, the one pictured is 18L.
