Abstract

We propose a simple design method of a ceramic pressure-tight housing having an extended length of cylinder and metal caps. Ceramics have higher compressive strength and lower specific gravity than typical metals. Moreover, they are free from erosion by seawater. For that reason, we can produce light pressure-tight ceramic housings that have good durability for deep-water applications. The proposed ceramic housings have greater buoyancy than metal housings. We also propose a simpler design method of metal caps. We confirmed its validity through Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis and hydraulic pressure tests using small-sized ceramic housings with metal caps.
