Watertight Enclosure Documentation
Introduction
Blue Robotics oers a series of watertight enclosures for use on ROVs, AUVs, and other marine vehicles. A modular
design consisting of a tube, sealing anges, and various end caps allows lots of exibility and modication. The
enclosures are made of high-quality, precision machined parts and are simple to assemble.
Important Notes
 Always inspect the O-rings before operation in water and especially when replacing the end-caps, aluminum
anges, or penetrators. Any dust, hair, or other particles can cause a leak.
 Use plastic tools, NOT steel or other hard tools, to remove the O-rings from the aluminum sealing ange. Hard
tools can create scrapes that will compromise sealing ability.
