The British Ministry of defence is testing composite materials for use in its fleet of Submarines.<\/p>\n

The use of composite materials in the construction of submarines has a number of potential advantages, including the need for less maintenance which delivers a reduction in operating costs. Composite materials also provide the opportunity to reduce the acoustic signature of a submarine. As part of an ongoing programme, composite materials are tested by the MOD to develop new approaches and designs.<\/p>\n

The MOD are using QinetiQ’s Hyperbaric Trials Unit located in Haslar Uk, testing the composites require a sufficiently large pressure chamber which can also meet the pressure fatigue cycling regime.<\/p>\n

The HTU specifically allows the assessment of submarine escape and diving systems and components. Certified to test equipment to 1500m, it has a unique capability to re-create the actual pressure profiles experienced underwater, completely independent of the performance of the components under test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
