Actually it will be in my buddies shop. He works in his shop full time. Also the feed line to the solenoid will be restricted to avoid pressurizing the chamber too fast. My buddies compressor is a king size machine to run his boat painting shop. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 15, 2022, at 4:24 PM, Michael Dell via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto">Im interested to see the results of this testing however, epoxies do have issues with aging, degradation of its overall thermo-mechanical properties will occur affecting its durability, reliability and safety.

I just completed a pressure test to failure on our Cast Epoxy port. The port was 1 inch by 8 inches OD. An acrylic port this size is rated to fail at 2,100 feet sea water. My Epoxy port failed at 1,225 psi or 2,744 feet fresh water. <br>
Any ideas on how to make a hydraulic apparatus to cycle the port from zero to operating depth in my chamber? <br>
