Title: THERMAL SHOCK REPORT 15 THERMAL CYCLING APPLIED TO ONE IN. SOCKET WELD TEE. Memo Report 121

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4262570

A tee in the S2G system is used to join two liquid metal streams of different temperatures. The abillty of this tee to withstand the stresses imposed upon it under these conditions was questionable since it was difficult to determine mathematically. This test subjected the tee to thermal and pressure stress. Visual, dye check and mass spectrometer examinations upon completion of thc test (1829 cycles and 1048 hours of operation) showed that the test stresses were not excessive. (auth)
