[PSUBS-MAILIST] ABS Question

[via Personal_Submersibles]

It's a pretty small book, the ABS code. Most of what they don't specify as a limitation, they refer to adequate outside codes (ASME boiler codes, etc.). Recall the original design from Captain Kittredge for a pod closure. Nothing more than a roll of SS the same thickness as the pod welded inside so the hatch and O-ring slide over to mate with the machined but otherwise non strengthened end of the pod tube itself. Works like a champ. And was certified by Lloyd's and the Japanese certifying agency both at one time or another. I didn't see a pod open on the K-600, so I don't know if he strengthened it further or not. Probably not. The pods are calculated for like 4000 feet or something. They're the toughest thing on the boat.

Hi All

Does anyone know if there is a section in ABS covering battery pod
endcap flange design?  Or hatch land design\reinforcement which is
kind of the same thing.  I cant see it.

I am finalising my design for the battery pod caps and don't want to
over spec like I did on Jodie-B, but obviously need the flange design
to be correct.

Thanks
James
