Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Battery Pods Weld

Thanks for that. Sorry, i dont think i was clear. I meant on the through hull penetrators that go from the pods into and through the pressure hull. The plans show 2, but i have 3. 2 x electrical penetrators and 1 x vent.

Have a look here. http://www.guernseysubmarine.com/Extended_files/Page3524.htm

James,

A double fillet weld is correct . The battery pods are only being "attached" to the outside and are not a critical pressure boundary weld.

Just make sure you have a continuous weld all the way around to avoid any water from infiltrating in between the the flat bar and the pressure hull.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Battery Pods Weld

Hi All,

Im going to attach my battery pods this afternoon. The plans show 1/4 inch double fillet as opposed to a full penetration weld. Is that right? What have other people done with those fittings?

Its certainly a lot easier to do a double fillet but i just want to make sure its right.

Thanks

James
