[PSUBS-MAILIST] Overpressure on dome

[River Dolfi via Personal_Submersibles]

The actual ABS standard just doesn't go there. Keeping the HP air tanks
inboard, as in an unmodified K-boat, is actually afoul of the standard.

5.5 Pressure Vessel Location
Pressure vessels and heat exchangers are not to be located within the
pressure boundary of the underwater vehicle or hyperbaric installation
unless calculations are submitted showing that the inadvertent release of
the contained fluid(s) will not increase the pressure inside the chamber by
more than one atmosphere.

I've been attempting to read the ABS rules cover-to-cover, and in
particular that bit stuck out at me.
