Jay, I had been thinking about how the battery pod caps on the Triton 1000 were being attached, and figured it would be a lot like the beveled clamping means your talking about. But using a small hinge like is used on these tri clover clamps we use at the winery to attach and seal hoses to tanks and what not. It's hard to make out the hinge on the Triton pods, but you can see one on the top of the starboard pod in this rendering of the sub if you look closely and the tightening bolt on the bottom. High pressure tri clover clamps.

The two-part clamping ring interfaces with beveled surfaces so that when the tighter it is drawn together, the more pressure is put on the flat mating surfaces. R/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? |
