GAS- AND LIQUID-IMPERMEABLE GRAPHITE FOR REACTOR CONSTRUCTION (in German)
>The possibilities of making graphite impermeable to gases and liquids are shown. The physical properties of the impermeable graphites depend on the different sealing processes. For such methods special starting materials were developed. In the development of reactor grade graphite, as described in a previous anticle, Germany was quite behind other countries. As far as making impermeable graphite is concerned, however, developments and experiences were gained in manufacturing imperme able materials for the chemical industry. The liquid- and the gas-impregnation methods are discussed principally. The problems of sealing and the degree of impermeability which can be obtained are pointed out using different meas- uring techniques. Finally, a description is given of ""pyrographite"", a newly discovered old graphite material. (auth)
