Description of the Dubat Mark I.
Abstract
The Mark I Dubat furnished under Contract NObsr 93315 is an Expendable Bathythermometer incorporating both temperature and depth measurement transducers. The construction of the hull and instrument sub-assembly of the expendable unit is suited to standard machine shop production techniques. In its present form the Mark I Dubat is a developmental device which may be easily converted to low cost, high production manufacturing techniques. (A Dubat Mark II version may be easily generated from the same basic redesign of the Mark I. The Mark II Dubat would not contain a pressure transducer; depth would be estimated from time versus depth data taken with fully instrumented Mark I versions of the instrument. The accuracy of depth estimates with the Mark II would not be as good as the accuracy of depth measurements with the Mark I.)
