DeepSea Power & Light - Under Pressure Software Demonstration

As you can see, analysis using Under Pressure for the same housing manufactured in aluminum shows the housing would likely implode before 13,000 feet. This is undesirable, especially since the designer selected a design safety margin of 2.0.

This example demonstrates a typical run through Under Pressure. It demonstrates that the software is very user friendly, and that results can often be realized immediately.

Of course, it is assumed that Under Pressure design software users are already experienced in pressure housing design, and are aware of the applicability and limitations of the formulas used. It is the responsibility of the individual designer to incorporate a reasonable factor of safety into a pressure housing design where appropriate, as there are no safety allowances provided for within the program.
