When an india-rubber tube is expanded by internal fluid pressure, it preserves its cylindrical form until the increase in. its diameter bears a certain proportion to its diameter when unstrained; but, when more fluid is introduced, the condition of the tube becomes unstable, and the internal fluid pressure diminishes.
