Description/Abstract:
HW-SA-3496 Discusses the method, which uses a compartor circuit to detect concentrations of hydride as low as 250 ppm. Correlation between the circuit output and metallographic analysis of the hydride content of test pieces is shown. Photos, diagrams and micrographs are included.
