That system of 40 degree inclusive angle Vee clamps are used on
the Perry subs for large Viewports. Try this lady from Teconnex as they make those clamps. England.

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.
From: bottomgun@mindspring.com Brent, Did not look closely at the unit that was on our pier a short
time ago but from inspection of the images, it looks like the mating unit is
one or the other but not both. 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 Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas As scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of
the demand. -Josh Billings From:

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? |
