Instrumented Pressure Vessel (IPV)
The IPV shown below was designed and stress analyzed using SolidWorks. IPVs are used to house subsea electronics.
This IPV is made from hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum. Detail Drawings and a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be found by clicking the links on the right side of this page. The IPV CAD model and drawings were created with SolidWorks Premium. The Finite Element Analysis was performed using SolidWorks Simulation and MapleSoft.

IPV Pressure Rating
This IPV has an external pressure rating of 1000 psi (6.9 mPa), which is equivalent to about 2250 ft (686 m) of seawater. The pressure rating is limited by the O-Rings, which are rated at 1500 psi (10.3 mPa).
