Test program to verify theory used in calculating axial thrust uses turbopump instrumented with /a/ proximity transducers for measuring shaft position, /b/ a strain gage thrust bearing carrier to measure axial thrust, and /c/ internal pressure taps to define component pressure gradients used in thrust calculations.
High-resolution differential pressure transducer senses very small positive or negative pressure variations in the cryogenic tank relative to absolute reference pressure. System is useful in calibrating instruments where working fluid must be maintained at closely controlled temperature, or in processes requiring very fine pressure control.
Information gathering system measures and records vibrations which affect personnel comfort in space, air, and surface vehicles. Three vibration transducers with mutually perpendicular axes control the frequency output of voltage controlled oscillators /VCO/. Outputs of VCO'S are multiplexed and then recorded on one track of stereo tape recorder.
System detects defects of .051 cm in diameter and larger. System incorporates scanning head assembly including boot enclosed transducer, slip ring assembly, drive mechanism, and servotransmitter. Ultrasonic flaw detector, prototype recorder, and special recorder complete system.
Basic components of system are - occluding cuff with mounted cuff microscope, cuff pump deflator, pressure transducer, preamplifier unit, electrocardiograph machine, an analog to digital convertor unit, and digital display unit. System utilizes indirect auscultatory method, based on Korotkoff sounds, for measurement.
System consisting of solid state electronics package and a pair of standard flow-transducer cuffs is useful in cardiovascular studies. Device shows good zero stability and calibrations, and low noise levels.
