I have a hypothetical question concerning pressure vessels for human
occupancy. What if the material that is being used is not addressed in
the "guidelines" in the PVHO handbook? The material I'm thinking of is
concrete, would certification by an engineer as to the strength of the
material suffice ?
Also say a pressure vessel for human occupancy was built and say that
this pressure vessel was only going to be lowered in and out of the water with
a crane. If the pressure vessel was certified by a qualified engineer
would that be different than Lloyds of London or the ABS certifying a
submarine? Doug Farrow, any thoughts on this?
