Scott, thanks for filling in the details.Hank, all the best with the dive test /diving.Wonder if Vance has experienced those loud noises from shifting view ports?Alan

Alan,
I am starting slip testing tomorrow, I just bonded the gasket to the test chamber.
As for testing the sub, I am using my barge with winch  to lower the sub with my video camera recording.  I will turn the radio on and talk to the sub from the surface.  I will tell the sub the depth constantly and it will be recorded.  
Hope to do this next week, it is a big effort, I have to truck the barge 6 hr to the lake, then drive home, then come the next day with the sub.  Maybe my wife will let me haul her car with the barge on the trailer so I can get home. :-)

 Alan,When
 I was down diving with Karl Stanley earlier this year he
 showed me the veiwport that cracked. It was caused by him
 taking his sub to deep and the body warped putting side
 pressure on the veiwport. After that he derated his depth.
 This was on his first sub
 CBUG.Thanks,Scott Waters

 Hank,I remember
 Karl Stanley (or someone else) saying he cracked a dome at
 depthdue to an
 unexpected contraction of the pressure hull.Just in
 case everything is not right; how about an unmanned
 dive!You could
 record any noises by putting something like your cel phone
 in the hullon
 record.Then
 synchronize a watch on the support boat & record what
 depths you havethe sub
 down at at what times. So if you get a big "Crack"
 on your recording you will be
 able to tell at what depth it happened.Easier
 said than done I know, but probably worth it.Cheers

 Alan,
 When my
 dome made the mystery noise, I was at 100 feet deep. That
 puts about 18 tons on the dome.  I think it was either the
 straps were able to relax and find their happy place, or,
 the super cold water made the dome contract.

  Hank,I was
 
 looking at some Deep Worker photos. The dome retaining
  bandslook like
  they can be
 wound tight from a central point at the
 
 top.I am
  wondering if they pre stress these
 significantly so that
  there is less
 movementwhen they
  are compressed at
 depth. 
  Also I
  commented
 on your retaining system when I first saw it, that
  I thought thevertical
 
 floatational force might move it upward, or the dome
 pivot
  out from the bottom.Perhaps
  you could exert more pressure on the dome with
 your clamping
  system?

  Does
 the
  window seat have some sort of inside
 diameter edge? I would
  think if it does
 not, then its pretty much guaranteed to
 
 slip with or without grease - with grease being the
 quieter
  less-terrifying option.
  Best,
  Alec

  Sean,
  
  Thank
 you for the input, I think I will just use weights
  like Alan says.
  
  I am making a fixture to simulate the EPDM
 gasket compressed
  under my dome.  I want
 to test it with grease and
  without.  I
 will squeeze the gasket in the fixture then
 
 push the top plate sideways with a pusher bolt to see if
 the
  gasket allows movement.  I want to
 make sure my dome can
  expand and contract
 at depth.

   Hank - the force developed
 is dependent on the
  
 
  stiffness of both the bolt material and of the specimen
  
   you're pushing on. 
 You can't necessarily
  equate
  
   this directly to torque
 because of friction in the bolt
  
   threads and at the bolt end contact, and of
 course the
  
   elasticity
 of the bolt itself. You can only estimate
 
 it. 
  
   There are many
 online tools for calculating the
 
 developed
  
   tensile force
 in a bolted connection, for example, but
 
 these
  
   consider only the
 bolt as the deformable element, and
  
   require an accurate estimate of coefficients
 of
  friction,
  
   and this will change with lubrication. As
 you complicate
  the
  
   system, it becomes more geometry
 dependent.
  
   A 1" -
 8 UNC 2A thread is 8 threads per
  
   inch, so a set number of turns will give you
 the
  approximate
  
   axial displacement (0.125" per
 revolution -
  approximate
 
 
   because the bolt will change length
 under load). If you
  
 
  assume a rigid fixture, then your strain is equal to
  the
  
 
  overall change in length (calculated from # of bolt
  turns),
  
 
  divided by the gauge length (distance over which the
  length
  
 
  change occurs, which would be the length of your
  specimen
  
 
  measured between the rigid fixture and the end of your
  jack
  
 
  bolt). Compressive or tensile load is then calculated
  based
  
   on
 the modulus of elasticity of the specimen. 
  
   Alternatively, you can
 measure the load (make the bolt
  or
  
   fixture into a load cell
 or strain gauge the specimen)
  and
  
   calculate the material
 properties.
  
   Load, axial
 displacement, modulus. You need any
  
   two to calculate the third.
 
 
   What are you making / testing?

   Hi
 all,
  
   I
 
 
   need help, can anyone tell me how to
 calculate how much
  
 
  force a bolt can push or pull using a torque wrench to
  turn
  
   the
 bolt. So how many foot pounds of torque does it take
  to
  
   rotate
 a bolt to  create 250 lbs push with a 1 in
 
 coarse
  
   thread bolt.  I
 need to make a test fixture.
