1B HEAT EXCHANGER LEAK TEST. CORE I, SEED 1. Test Results

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4057606· OSTI ID:4057606

Descriptions are given of various procedures used in determining leaks in the tubes of the 1B heat exchanger. Air pressurization tests determined leakage and leak rate of nine tubes. The leak-location-detector-probe method was found promising for locating defects along the length of the tube. Results of the probalog, dye-penetrant, and ultrasonic tests proved inconclusive in determining leak locations. (B.O.G.)
