Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Hull Penetration and Reinforcement




Vance, 
 
Send me the following info and I'll run it through the calculator. 
 
1) design depth of PC-8 
This is the C model: 1000 fsw.
2) hull diameter (OD)
43" 
3) hull thickness 
0.5" (A516Gr70).
4) Is the 28 inch dimension ID or OD? I need the ID dimension. 
Let's call it ID.
5) Does the unit extend into the cabin? If so, how far? 
Yes, and is milled to the hull radius minus about an inch. There is also a double thickness collar welded into the hull, a ring section that is about 1" X 3". Most notable is that this reinforcement assembly is a flanged unit. The conning tower is an independent structure, bolted to the hull.
