The Deck Purge Box (DPB-107) in combination with a self-sealing purge port and pressure proof cap is an innovative solution to remove moisture from deep sea housings, both spheres and cylinders. 

The Beacon Board (BB-122), a GPS-enabled surface location device, provides a surface recovery ship a direct range-and-bearing to an undersea vehicle returned to the surface.  It provides an unambiguous and reliable means to determine the location within a radius of up to 8 nautical miles of the ship.  This recovery aid fits easily inside glass or polystyrene spheres as small as 10” diameter and operates rain or shine, light or dark, fog or sun glint.

The Purge Port, Glass Sphere (PP-101) is designed for applications using a glass sphere housing of 10-20” OD of any wall thickness up to 23mm, and a standard clearance 7/16" D hole with a 1" spotface.  The self-sealing purge port body and cap are made from corrosion resistant and ultra-strong Titanium 6-4 (Grade 5).  As seagoing researchers, these have all the helpful features we want in a vacuum-purge port.  “Self-sealing” refers to sea level pressures. They still require the placement of the pressure proof cap (included) before deployment, so as a helpful reminder we laser engraved the words “Replace Cap” on the top.

The Pressure Switch, Sphere (PAS-120) is designed for applications using a glass sphere housing of 10-20” OD of any wall thickness up to 23mm.  The switch bodies are made from corrosion resistant and ultra-strong Titanium 6-4 (Grade 5).
