[PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure test

[hank pronk]

Thanks' but the 4 foot dia is to small, I need about 6 feet I would think if there is a chamber in Alberta it would be in Edmonton.  A lot of oil patch items are built in Edmonton.

What are the dimensions? C-FER Technologies in Edmonton has a test chamber 4' diameter by 35' long. They proof test some of the AUV hulls for ISE there.

Waaaay beyond my budget. Dale Heinzing tested Snoopy somewhere on the West side of Canada at a lumber yard. Snoopy went in the tank alongside the lumber and must have been pretty well disinfected, but the scary bit was that they released the pressure almost instantaneously, with a bang. That test was  to only 400' so not really sufficient for a Nekton, but it might still be of interest since I think it's relatively close to you and probably was inexpensive.
