Rapid helium-air analyzer can measure other binary gas mixtures

Instrument comprised of an ionization pressure gage and a diaphragm pressure gage consisting of strain gages to make a four-arm bridge, and a ratiometer is constructed for analyzing gas mixtures. The ratio of the outputs of the two gages is proportional to the mixture composition.

Weld leaks rapidly and safely detected

Test method detects leaks that occur during hydrostatic pressure testing of welded joints in metal tanks. A strip of aluminum foil and a strip of water-soluble paper are placed over the weld. A voltage applied between the tank wall and the foil strip is monitored to detect a decrease in ohmic resistance caused by water leakage into the paper layer.

Organic reactants rapidly produce plastic foam

Adding trichlorofluoromethane to polyether resin accelerates the reaction between the resin and toluene diisocyanate. This accelerated reaction instantaneously produces a plastic foam of low density and uniform porosity needed to provide buoyancy for flotation recovery of instrument packages dropped into the sea from spacecraft.

Modified power tool rapidly drives series torque bolts

Feeder attachment, which fits on a standard power driver, drives a series of longitudinally attached torque bolts into place with great speed. It allows loading of a series of bolts and then positions individual bolts in the driving head for assembly. The attachment contains a socket gun which may be modified to accommodate different types and sizes of bolts.
