Enclosure

• The enclosure consists of end caps bolted to flanges welded to a ⅜" thick tube with a 6" OD.
• All metal components on the ROV's exterior are made of 316 stainless steel to avoid rust and galvanic corrosion
• Each end cap is sealed using a primary face seal O-Ring and 2 secondary radial O-Ring seals

End Cap Seal

• The face seal is compressed using sixteen ¼ 20 bolts with skewed thread lock nuts.
• The radial seals were designed using the Parker Radial Seal Design Guide
• The face seal was designed using ORD 5700: Parker O-Ring Handbook
