The elastic constants of a commercial tungsten carbide cermet (3% cobalt binder) were measured as a function of pressure at room temperature. As pointed out in a recent publication by Ruoff, the pressure dependence of the elastic constants affects the maximum possible pressure which a vessel can contain. This dependence is discussed in light of the present data.
