What is the internal pressure and how safe is it


A small steel cylinder is used as a pressure vessel for a paint gun. The label says "24 grams CO2 filled". Assume the vessel is made of 0.6% carbon, hot rolled steel with sigma ultimate = 100 ksi, sigma yield = 60 ksi, and E=30x10^6 psi. When it is initially filled with gas, at 100 deg c what is the internal pressure? how safe is it? cylinder specs: thickness = 0.055", outer diameter=1", L(effective)=3.25".
