I got my first part for the pressure hull this weekend. It is a piece of
pipe in the form of a 'T' about 53' long and 36' diameter with wall
thickness of 0.8' and the tower bit also 36' and protruding about 5'. It
weighs 660Kg. I am planning to add two short ends to the ends and making
use of a end cap with a hole cut in for a 24' conning tower and this mid
section leaves a bit more room below then. These pipes where designed for
use in a petro chem. plant to last for a very long time under high
pressure.
Making use of very small bulkheads of not more than a 1/2' thick, after
more calculations perhaps and then only where the viewports are located.
I will still post my plans after some criticism that will be more than
welcome.
Kind regards
Marius
