Dynamic captive plastic seal

Fluoroplastic material held captive between valve sealing surfaces of 16 to 125 rms microinches provides zero leakage to a high-pressure line at high cryogenic temperatures, when the plastic material is subjected to sufficient stress. This sealing technique makes unnecessary the use of superfinished valve sealing surfaces.

Development of biaxial test fixture includes cryogenic application

Test fixture has the capability of producing biaxial stress fields in test specimens to the point of failure. It determines biaxial stress by dividing the applied load by the net cross section. With modification it can evaluate materials, design concepts, and production hardware at cryogenic temperatures.

Liquid oxygen-compatible insulation system

To provide insulation for tees, elbows, sumps, and valves that are used to pass or store fluids at cryogenic temperatures, individual parts are insulated in an environmentally controlled facility. It is desirable that such insulation be liquid oxygen compatible and be easily removable and reinstallable.
