RUBIDIUM EVALUATION PROGRAM. Quarterly Technical Report No. 3 for Period February 1 through April 30, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4052038
The objectives of the program are to test materials for compatibility with liquid Rb and vapor under static and dynamic conditions at high temperatures and to determine experimentally the thermodynamic properties of Rb. The static capsule test apparatus is being assembled. The first test will be performed at 1800 deg F for 100 hours in a 316 stainless steel capsule. The second test run will be at 1800 deg F for 500 hours in a Nb-Zr alloy capaule. The basic loop design was completed and design of instrumentation, controls, environmental chamber, and accessory equipment is being carried forwand. The final design of the thermodynamic apparatus is being continued. (W.L.H.)
