Application Summary AI generated

This standard specifies the test method for evaluating the external pressure strength of metal pressure hulls used in submersibles. It is applied during the design validation and manufacturing quality inspection of deep-sea vehicles, such as manned or unmanned submersibles, to ensure the hull can withstand the hydrostatic pressure at its rated diving depth. The procedure defines loading conditions, measurement criteria, and safety requirements for conducting controlled external pressure tests in a hyperbaric chamber or similar testing environment.
