The Tobacco Dome is a highly pressurized vessel capable of maintaining an internal pressure of up to 30psi.
The vessel is made of a specially designed, high-strength alloy of 6061-T6 aluminum.
The dome has a diameter of 10 inches and a height of 20 inches.
Pressure Testing procedures are used to ensure the vessel's integrity.
