FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE ANECHOIC TANK.

Abstract

A feasibility study was made for an anechoic tank for testing instruments capable of operating in a deep-sea environment. Attention was given to vessel opening details, materials, fabricating procedures, auxiliary equipment, and costs. Only 40-foot diameter spherical vessels were considered, and cost data were developed as a function of the internal pressure the vessel is capable of withstanding. It was required that the tank have a 5- to 10-foot diameter access opening which can be rapidly opened and closed.
