For the Heavyweight Spearfish Torpedo system, we manufacture
a fuel tank. This is a safety critical program with a high level
of quality control and assurance with a strong project management
team. The assembly is manufactured from high strength titanium
forgings that are electron-beam welded shut complete with an integral
rubber bag that provides the primary sealing of the fuel.
The picture right shows the main forging at an early mid-machining
state. The diameter of the tube is approximately 500mm and the
length is over 1200 mm.
