Frictional losses in straight tubing and effect of system on ball type valve, using polyurethane foam damped flexible silastic tube
Low density polyurethane foam with and without honeycomb as ablative material for reentry vehicles, discussing oxidation resistance
Polyurethane foam composites for low heating rate thermal protection, noting astroquartz fiber additive effect on performance
Pre-pregged fiber glass is an efficient abrasive for machining polystyrene and polyurethane foams. It bonds easily to any cutter base made of aluminum, steel, or phenolic, is inexpensive, and is readily available.
Open-celled polyurethane foam has a density of 8.3 pounds per cubic foot and a compressive strength of 295 to 325 psi. It is useful as a porous spacer in layered insulation and as an insulation material in vacuum tight systems.
Low density foam and aluminum composite materials for cryogenic insulation
Self-erectable space structures of flexible foam for application in planetary orbits
Plastic foam generator for space vehicle instrument payload package flotation in water landing
Polyurethane spray foam insulation system application methods for liquid hydrogen tanks
