On the topic of improving an already great product, I am finally going in production of my prototype for this middle bulkhead project I have been wanting to do for a while now.
Hi @etienne - We haven’t done testing for others in the Crushinator up to this point, so I’d have to think about that. Would you want to test to a certain depth or to failure?
We usually try to have a good safety factor like 1.5. You can learn a lot from a single test. To truly qualify something for a particular pressure we typically cycle it to that pressure 10 times, holding it for up to 24 hours during the last cycle.
Okay. The domes will go much deeper than the acrylic tubes. Very short acrylic tubes will go deeper as well but not 500 meters. I’d recommend using Under Pressure to help figure out depth ratings at various lengths.
When you want to think about the test more, please shoot me an email about it.
