Hawkins, K G

The ability of a modified Grayloc connector to contain He at pressure and temperature was tested, since such connectors will be welded to a stainless steel tube containing He at 280 psi and 600 deg F. The connector was cyclically subjected to a bending moment of 400 ft-lb, heated to 600 deg F as the bending moment was removed, vibrated at 270 cpm at 600 deg F, and cooled to 200 deg F as bending moment was reapplied. The results are discussed. (D.C.W.)
