ABSTRACT

According to the actual requirements of seabed mineral exploration equipment, this paper introduces the design and manufacture process of deep-sea pressure vessel from two aspects: pressure resistance and sealing. The pressure vessel made of titanium alloy TC4 is connected by sections, and the wall thickness and end cover thickness of the pressure vessel are calculated in detail. Finally, the deep-sea environment simulation test and pool test are carried out on the manufactured deep-sea pressure vessel. The test results show that the pressure vessel can meet the strength and sealing requirements, that is, it meets the service requirements of 6000m water depth.

KEYWORDS
