[PSUBS-MAILIST] Hyperbaric Chamber.

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

James,
All pressure vessels have a ID plate with specs on it.  That will give you the shell thickness etc.  Nice thing about a chamber is, it will be built very nice and will be clean.  It will fun to figure out what you can do.  Maybe the hatch can be reversed?  Great project!  I would be all over it like white on rice :-)

 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
