Jay,
So does that mean they can be locked by both a rotating ring type, as well as a two-part coupling flange, as it appears this DART unit can? Are all the outer mating parts of the two-part coupling flange beveled so they increase the pressure on the seal further as the two clam shells are brought closer together?

Brent,
The two-part coupling flange is common in the oil patch for
mating diving bells with decompression facilities for crew transfer. The small
portable chambers depicted in the DART brochure are used by US Navy diving
detachments during remote ops.

I found this set of
decompression units from a manufacturer in the Netherlands, that are using the
STANAG NATO standard flange. The main unit has a interesting pressure
hull design. It looks like they are using a different locking means for there
add on unit, in a clam shell arrangement. I'll need a at least two STANAG
flanges on my live aboard sub.
