Lewak, R J

This report presents the results of tests conducted on tensile test specimens cut from sections of both spliced and non-spliced polyester fabric reinforced neoprene rubber material which had been used as seals on the contraction joints of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station A pressure relief duct. The specimens were tested for durometer hardness and then tensile-tested to destruction.
