Our Project focuses on ensuring that our chamber can maintain the load of 20 - 25 mmHg. This means we prioritized our budget to purchasing items that will meet these material properties that we found will be sufficient through analysis, Solidworks, and systematic approach.
The total budget for this project is $2,600.
With the allotted budget, the following purchases have been made:
Sailrite Stainless Steel Grade 304L Rings (5):
Sailrite Stainless Steel Grade 304L Rings (5):
We purchased these rings for two main reasons. First, the delivery time was significantly quicker than other options. The quoted lead time was two days after the order began processing, which was two weeks ahead of our next best option in terms of time. Second, after consideration of Stainless Steel Grade 304L and aluminum 6061 T4/T6, we found that our factor of safety would be high regardless of material, therefore it was beneficial for us to choose the cheapest option.
Fitness Hoop 26.5" (3):

These rings functioned as our risk reduction until the metal rings arrived. We were able to learn what size diameter we wanted for the ring as well as the material strength that would be required.
Milwaukee Hand Trucks 33815 Dolly (1):
Milwaukee Hand Trucks 33815 Dolly (1):
We utilized the dolly to better facilitate testing for our chamber. We have gym mats that the person can lie on while the chamber, specifically the bottom plate, rests on the dolly so that it can easily be pushed away.
Solarez Wetsuit Repair (1):
Solarez Wetsuit Repair (1):
We first utilized this neoprene glue to quickly repair a tear in our waist seal.
Aquaseal Neoprene Repair Glue (1):
Aquaseal Neoprene Repair Glue (1):
The first neoprene glue we purchased had a very small amount and does not work as well after it is first opened, so another tube was purchased.
HH-66 PVC Vinyl Cement (1):
HH-66 PVC Vinyl Cement (1):
Our previous temporary solution involved duct tape and was very unreliable. With the use of high strength thread, vinyl cement, and seam sealer, we created a pocket that keeps the rings in place and only allows for limited movement to prevent tilting of the chamber.
Losso Products Seam Sealer 4 Oz (1):
Losso Products Seam Sealer 4 Oz (1):
This product is applied after the sewing has been done to ensure that air does not leak through the holes that are made.
We only spent 293 dollars from our allotted 2600 dollar budget.
