That's 217 psi or round about 440ft.</div><div>As said before Emile tested them to something like 3000ft. But still he & Carsten </div><div>doubled up on them.</div><div>I am not sure what safety margin sealcon uses. Sometimes it's 4x with plastics, &</div><div>it does have a plastic sealing insert. So maybe the cable would start extruding through </div><div>at 1200ft. Possibly more if they factor in ageing. The reps have to cover their butt in</div><div>case you lose your life & sub using their product. I presume they sell the plastic</div><div>sealing inserts that Blueglobe advises you change every time you untighten the</div><div>fitting. You could change the inserts out every couple of years so that aging isn't</div><div>a factor.</div><div>What is the worst case scenario if one fails at 350 ft? The metal housing of the gland</div><div>isn't going to fail, just the insert; & if the cable is running through it then water is not</div><div>going to flow through the gap left by the torn insert in a great volume! </div><div>You could calculate the water flow through the maximum hole size in the fitting</div><div>if the gland & cable weren't there, & work out how much time you would have</div><div>before the flooding was critical.</div><div>Have heard of people putting their cables through valves so they can pull the</div><div>wires out of connectors & close the valve off.</div><div>That's my thoughts anyway. </div><div>Cheers Alan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:CB3F8865-7EB9-41BD-9E59-350B16353108" alt="image1.PNG" id="CB3F8865-7EB9-41BD-9E59-350B16353108"><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>On 16/06/2020, at 4:20 AM, Rick Patton via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail-gE gmail-iv gmail-gt" style="padding:20px 0px 0px;font-size:0.875rem;font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><table cellpadding="0" class="gmail-cf gmail-ix" style="white-space:nowrap;font-size:0.875rem;letter-spacing:0.2px;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed;width:1376px"><tbody><tr><td class="gmail-c2" style="display:flex"><h3 class="gmail-iw" style="overflow:hidden;font-size:0.75rem;font-weight:inherit;margin:inherit;text-overflow:ellipsis;letter-spacing:0.3px;color:rgb(95,99,104);line-height:20px"><span class="gmail-qu" tabindex="-1"><span name="Barbra Rainone" class="gmail-gD" style="color:rgb(32,33,36);font-size:0.875rem;font-weight:bold;display:inline;vertical-align:top;letter-spacing:0.2px;line-height:20px">Barbara Rainone</span> <span class="gmail-go" style="vertical-align:top;color:rgb(85,85,85)"><span><</span><a href="mailto:SalesRegion2@sealconusa.com">SalesRegion2@sealconusa.com</a><span>></span></span></span></h3></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" class="gmail-cf gmail-gJ" style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:0px;width:auto;font-size:0.875rem;letter-spacing:0.2px;display:block"><tbody style="display:block"><tr class="gmail-acZ gmail-xD" style="height:auto;display:flex"><td colspan="3"><table cellpadding="0" class="gmail-cf gmail-adz" style="border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed;white-space:nowrap;width:1635px"><tbody><tr><td class="gmail-ady" style="overflow:visible;text-overflow:ellipsis;display:flex;line-height:20px"><div class="gmail-iw gmail-ajw" style="overflow:hidden;max-width:92%;display:inline-block"><span class="gmail-hb" style="vertical-align:top;color:rgb(95,99,104);font-size:0.75rem;letter-spacing:0.3px;line-height:20px">to <span dir="ltr" name="me" class="gmail-g2" style="vertical-align:top">me</span></span></div><div id="gmail-:3f" class="gmail-ajy" tabindex="0" style="display:inline-flex;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:top;border:none;outline:none"><img class="gmail-ajz" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif" alt="" style="background: url("https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/1x/arrow_drop_down_black_20dp.png") 50% 50% / 20px no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; height: 20px; width: 20px; border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px auto; right: 0px; top: 0px; display: flex; opacity: 0.54;"></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div id="gmail-:31" style="font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><div class="gmail-qQVYZb"></div><div class="gmail-utdU2e"></div><div class="gmail-lQs8Hd"></div><div class="gmail-btm"></div></div><div class="gmail-" style="font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><div class="gmail-aHl" style=""></div><div id="gmail-:3e" tabindex="-1"></div><div id="gmail-:33" class="gmail-ii gmail-gt gmail-adO" style="font-size:0.875rem;direction:ltr;margin:8px 0px 0px;padding:0px"><div id="gmail-:32" class="gmail-a3s gmail-aXjCH gmail-msg1348118280709414718" style="overflow:hidden;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:small;line-height:1.5;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_1348118280709414718WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(0,32,96)">This is the response I got after discussing my delima with Sealcon.
