Hi Steve:
I am also just starting to gather information. So
far I have a set of k350 plans, the Handbook of Acrylics, downloaded the ABS
rules for building underwater vehicles which goes with the stress analyses
program on the PSUB web site, and a double handful of manufactures' info
articles I also downloaded; most are unread at present. I will not have a lot of
time to devote to the project until after Christmas. I looked at some info
on the ASME web site and found it expensive to purchase, but I have been
told that there a lot of free info there;
just haven't had time to look. keep us posted
and good luck
Thanks,
Randy

Seems slow so I?ll jump
in??.
I just ordered a copy of the ASME
PVHO-1 (Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy) code book. I am still not
sure if this is the primary guidance for pressure vessel (psub pressure hulls)
welding code rules/guidance or whether ASME Sect. 8 (pressure vessels) is the
guidance. Maybe it is part of both. I want to build to ABS
standards and I am researching some issues but I am swimming in the maze of
guidance docs. Is there anyone who has gone through the same research who
wants to comment regarding which is the best
reference?
Thanks,
