<DIV dir=ltr>Hi Hank,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I asked at Carderock over a decade ago and was told the cost would depend on setup time, which varies depending on how much instrumentation you want during the test, but that a typical figure was around $27K. 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.</DIV>
