Hi guys,
I'm building a small epoxy/fiberglass 1
atmosphere sub and are wanting to embed an acrylic dome in a block of epoxy
resin/fiberglass. The dome and fiberglass ring will comprise my hatch. The dome is 25mm thick and 500mm OD. I'm envisaging
I will embed it half way into a ring that is 50mm wide and 25mm
high. The ring has a theoretical crush depth of 4000ft(1,768psi) The dome
(if it was cast wich its not) would have a crush depth of 3233ft. I have the
option of leaving a small portion of the flange on to key it into the
fibreglass. The epoxy fibreglass is about 25% stronger than the acrylic. I'm
designing everything with a crush depth of 2000ft + but will be happy with a
200ft operating depth.
Any thoughts -reservations - comments would be
appreciated.
Thanks, regards
Alan
