Radioactive tracer system continuously detects and monitors lubricating oil contamination in high pressure fluid lines.
Interchangeable molded fiberglass shells are locked together to form storage units of various depths. These units can hold components weighing 1500 pounds, are easily transportable, and protect contents from contamination.
Teflon sleeve insert prevents contamination of internal tube surfaces by solder compound during soldering operations that connect and seal the tube ends. The sleeve insert is pressed into the mating tube ends with a slight interference fit.
Union assembly provides a fluidtight joint between two lengths of tubing and minimizes introduction of braze contaminants into the tubing. The union contains two brazing preforms separated by a metal ring that serves as a dam for the molten brazing alloy.
Brazing retort manifold minimizes air contamination, prevents gas entrapment during purging, and provides uniform gas flow into the retort bell. The manifold is easily cleaned and turbulence within the bell is minimized because all manifold construction lies outside the main enclosure.
METILUR /Materials Experimental Tungsten Induction Laboratory Unit Replacement/ is an improved, unitized design of a susceptor cup and shielding that uses only one type of construction material /tungsten/ which eliminates contamination. Cycling runs can be accomplished with METILUR.
Surface contamination effects on behavior of liquids in space vehicle tanks at zero gravity
Vacuum chamber apparatus opens sealed canisters of irradiated gases and transfers the contents without contaminating the surrounding area, and without diluting or polluting the contained gases. The apparatus consists of the chamber, a valved piping manifold, and a special drill and sealed drilling access.
Modified gloved enclosure is used to fill a capsule with a mixture of americium and beryllium radioactive powders to seal weld the opening, and to test it for leaks. It contains a horizontal partition, vortex mixer, mounting press, welder, test vessel, and radiation shielding to prevent surface contamination.
Piezoelectric quartz crystals detect condensable gas contaminants backstreaming into a vacuum chamber when a pump is evacuating the chamber. One crystal acts as a thermometer, the other detects mass change. They are energized by electronic equipment which records frequency changes.
Properly programmed combination of advanced chemical and physical analytical techniques characterize critically all trace contaminants in both the potable and waste water from the Apollo Command Module. This methodology can also be applied to the investigation of the source of water pollution.
Sampling device obtains pure subsurface soil that is free of any foreign substance that may exist on the surface. It is introduced through a contaminated surface area in a closed condition, opened, and a subsurface sample collected, sealed while in the subsurface position, and then withdrawn.
