[PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure test

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

I am happy to report my pressure test to  2,815 feet went perfect.  We kept the sub at depth for 1 hr with no issues.  There was an interesting sound (bang) coming from the chamber at 1,000 feet but there is evidence of any issue.  I think the hatch was just centering itself.  I was amazed at how the vacuum grease becomes one with the seat so to speak at depth.  It is as if, the port is 
moulded to the seat.  I was lucky the port lined up with the window in the chamber, so I could see the port with a flashlight.  I got the rock star treatment, everyone was so gracious.  I also had an unexpected tour of the shop and the new ROV.  Wow that machine is cutting edge and big!.  I left Nuytco re-energized and my wife had a good grip on the cheque book LOL.  I also left with some new ideas that  will solve a couple of problems I have with ElementaryHank
