Millitary Standard for Small Water Craft, Navy, Marines

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the lack of specific structural design standards for mounting components on small Naval and Marine watercraft, particularly Zodiac-style boats. While there are established standards like Mil-std-810 and Mil-std-167 for larger ships, these do not apply to smaller vessels. Participants suggest using the DLA's quick search tool for relevant information by entering "boat," which may yield helpful resources. One user expresses gratitude for the webpage and anticipates spending time reviewing the results. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding applicable standards for small boat design.

I curious if anyone out there knows what structural design standards are used when mounting components onto small Naval and Marine (Zodiac) style watercraft. I can find all kinds of loads and vibration criteria for large ships like Mil-std-810 and Mil-std-167 but all of them specify not to use their criteria for small boat design. Any help would be much appreciated.

Go to https://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/quicksearch_query.cfm and enter "boat". Should turn up just about everything you could imagine! LOL!

Thanks Bob K, that webpage really helps. I think it will take me a couple days to sift through all that comes up when I type in "boat" but I am hoping what I am looking for is in there LoL!
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
