EVALUATION-DEVELOPMENT OF MIL-C-14157 CAPACITORS FOR NUCLEAR RADIATION ENVIRONMENT. Scientific Report No. 4

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4131786

In the second environnnental test all of the irradiated samples failed in 312 hr. Twenty-one of the 50 control untts remained on test at 320 hr. Units with C/sub 16-18/ alkyl biphenyl dielectric fiuid failed very rapidly. The failure rate for the bis(phenoxyphenyl) ether untt was similar to the standard untt and slightly lower for the monoisopropylbiphenyl unit. With the special units the gas formation is no longer a problem. The addition of inhibitor may improve the gamma failure rate of these unlts significantly and the use of the larger group will improve the statistical signtficance of the results. (auth)
