Experiment #2
Inorder to ensure that theVespel
®
material embedded in
the surface of the inlet sealwouldnot deform and cause
leaks at various oven temperature cycles, the following
testswere performed:
The reducingnutwith the new inlet sealwas tightened to
a torque of 25pounds. The injectionport temperature
was heated to325°C., then cooled to25°C. several
times. The leak ratewas thenmeasured at temperatures
of 25°C. and 325°C. The test was performed twice to
verify the results. The followingdatawas collected.
