| Descripció: | This paper describes the design and construction of the pressure hull of
Ictineu 3, a manned submersible with a maximum operative depth of 1200m. The
design and manufacturing process of a pressure hull is a cumbersome engineering
challenge because of the extreme pressure conditions and extremely low tolerances
required by the certification agency. The pressure hull has been calculated and designed
under the ASME PVHO-1-2007 and Germanischer Lloyd rules, and Finite Element
Method (FEM) simulations have been performed. It will be tested in an autoclave
at a test pressure corresponding to 1440m. The pressure hull is composed of an
stainless steel body with two acrylic spherical sectors, one is the top hatch and the
other is a large front window that will provide the crew an exceptional wide field of
view. The steel has been spefically selected due to its excellent mechanical properties
and its high corrosion resistance.
