[PSUBS-MAILIST] Dome Seat Test

[James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi All,

On Saturday I tested my dome to a depth of 61M.  (200Ft).  This was the
deepest I could get without going miles out to sea.

This was to test the epdm gasket and O ring seal I had made.  Hank spooked
me with a story of how a viewport he was testing extruded the epdm gasket
at pressure.  I wanted to be sure mine was ok.

I made a dish out of the piece left over from cutting the front endcap hole
for the dome and cramped it to the dome retaining ring.  Put it all in a
box and dumped it in the sea....

Pics here.
