I don't know... You can buy pipe at FlexPVC and McMaster Carr if they ship to Norway.

McMasterCarr doesn't ship outside the USA.

It can indeed be hard to find PVC in Europe - and almost impossible to find large-diameter stuff.

You can make a homemade out of copper, but the pressure chamber for an APH is a problem. Soda bottles have been used, but they can be hard to attach and there are always safety concerns. You can also make a CPS chamber from layered balloons - it can be fiddly, and you need a LOT (like at least fifty), but it can work well.
