<DIV><FONT size=3>Joe,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>The cost of pressure testing has as much to do with
multi-point measuring and analysis of distortion as it does with just
seeing if the vessel can survive a given depth intact. There is a depth
[above crush depth] at which the vessel undergoes enough stress that one
cycle or repeated cycles can compromise the vessel even though it might not
appear to have suffered. Vance and others can speak a lot more to that
than I can.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi Hank,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I asked at Carderock over a decade ago and was told the cost would
depend on setup time, which varies depending on how much instrumentation
you want during the test, but that a typical figure was around $27K.
Waaaay beyond my budget. Dale Heinzing tested Snoopy somewhere on the
West side of Canada at a lumber yard. Snoopy went in the tank alongside
the lumber and must have been pretty well disinfected, but the scary bit
was that they released the pressure almost instantaneously, with a bang.
That test was to only 400' so not really sufficient for a Nekton,
but it might still be of interest since I think it's relatively close to
you and probably was inexpensive.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>One other thing comes to mind on this. Phil uses A516Gr70
in the DW2000s. It occurs to me that if there was a demonstrable
benefit to A537, he would have used taken advantage of it. And he
didn't, apparently. Interesting. Don't know why, though. Maybe it
has something to do with welding stainless inserts in and the heat
