Evaluation of the Kerie Cable Thermal Arc Cutting Equipment.

摘要

From 16-26 April 1984, the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) conducted testing on the CLUCAS Underwater Kerie Cable thermal cutting equipment at 'A' dock, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The purpose of this testing was to verify Navy procedures for set up, use and maintenance, evaluate diver and equipment hazards, identify proper procedural corrections for identified hazards and provide a recommendation for training procedrues. The Kerie Cable has similar hazards as other cutting equipment with acceptable safety margins. The procedures established provved to ve effective and safe. The fleet will require only minimal traiing for safe and effective cutting. The CLUCAS Underwater Kerie Cable thermal cutting equipment is considered to be reliable, safe and an effective means of thermal cutting.
