Acrylic Light Pipes for Interior Illumination of Hyperbaric Chambers.
Abstract
The Naval Command, Control and Ocean Surveillance Center RDT&E Division (NRaD) has developed a new acrylic plastic light pipe for hyperbaric chamber illumination that can be installed in pipe-sized penetrations in the wall of a hyperbaric chamber that provides improved optical, mechanical, and structural performance over commercial hardware. This new light pipe design has been qualified and accepted for service by the U.S. Navy community in man-rated hyperbaric chambers for service to 1000 psi and 150 deg F NRaD light pipe equipment placed into operational service has been manufactured, inspected, assembled, and tested to meet U.S. Navy standards as well as industrial recognized safety standards that govern the design of human-occupied pressure vessel hardware.
