Most guys are going to sky diving altimeters and they have a new face sticker made. Gamma came with an altimeter so that is what I am used to. When you dive there are pressure changes from temperature changes. That shows up right away on an </span>altimeter, you then just give a shot of air inside to add some pressure. Also you can end up with an over pressure that shows up right away on an altimeter. That is important if the over pressure is significant. You can vent it off before you hit the surface or you may have an over pressure valve. The altimeter is not just for life support. </div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485910802864_19554">Hank</div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Tuesday, January 31, 2017 12:46 PM, Rick Patton via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv1237412858"><div><div dir="ltr">Would love to hear from anyone who is presently using LED's for their outside lighting.

If you get an increase, it would tell you the outer seal leaked. That's the way we did it for the oil-filled space between double shaft seals at Perry. Don't see why it wouldn't work for this application, as well.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Penetrator Air Void Question/Concern<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
All, I am running a multi conductor cable (11-12mm OD) for my 12V stern thruster thru an existing 1/2" pipe nipple in the aft head of my K-250.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I am using a Blueglobe gland fitting (BG 220 VA, rated @ 1,160 psig) on the outboard pressure side of the nipple and a Conax gland (PG5-500-A-N,rated @ 800 psig) for the gland fitting inboard.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I was originally only going to have interior Conax gland and let the pipe free flood. Then I decided I wanted to have redundancy and keep the pipe interior dry to help prevent corrosion (it is old school (not SS)). <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
My question: Is the air void that will exist between the 2 gland fittings a concern? Think empty pipe with both ends capped. I'm thinking not...<br clear="none">

Thanks,<br clear="none">
