[PSUBS-MAILIST] Hyperbaric Chamber.

Sure worth looking into.

Try to find out who is the manufacturer and you can find out about the
material.

James, 

 

The fact that it was built to code bodes well. You might find the shell
thickness too...well, thick. Typically, chambers are built without
reinforcing ribs. The engineers used wall thickness to compensate, as weight
is/was not an issue. Add ribs for stability and you will probably get quite
a depth rating. I would say it is definitely worth looking into.

Hi All, 

  

I am thinking about my next sub.  Wont be for a while yet so its just in
ideas stage.  However, I have the opportunity to possibly get an old
hyperbaric chamber.  Its about the right size I want for my new boat. 

  

Obviously there is a lot of work to do to make it a sub and im not even sure
of the thickness of the shell.  

  

Its being scrapped as its no longer in test, but is in really good
consition. 

  

What do people think?  Is this something I could possibly investigate, or is
it a complete waste of time?  

  

Obviously the shell thickness\material\end caps etc would all have to be
investigate, but the fact that its been used as a pressure vessel for
internal storage.  Would this cause issues? 

  

Just wanted to see what people think before I investigate. 

  

Many thanks 
James
