Saturation magnetization of polycrystalline iron

The magnetic moment per gram, sigma (H sub I, T), where H sub I is the internal field and T is the temperature, was measured for a polycrystalline iron sphere with the vibrating-sample magnetometer. The instrument was calibrated by using a method utilizing the high permeability of an iron sphere. The spontaneous moment, sigma(0, T),was obtained from plots of sigma(H sub I, T) as a function of H sub I for temperatures from 4.2 K to room temperature. The value of the spontaneous moment, sigma(0, T), at 298.9 K was 217.5 + or -0.4 emu/g. The extrapolated moment, sigma(0, 0),at absolute zero from a plot of sigma(0, T) as a function of T to 3/2 power was 221.7 + or - 0.4 emu/g.

Rubber-coated bellows improves vibration damping in vacuum lines

Compact-vibration damping systems, consisting of rubber-coated metal bellows with a sliding O-ring connector, are used in vacuum lines. The device presents a metallic surface to the vacuum system and combines flexibility with the necessary stiffness. It protects against physical damage, reduces fatigue failure, and provides easy mating of nonparallel lines.

Cryogenic liquid transfer system reduces residual boiloff

System for transferring cryogenic liquids to a dewar prevents boiloff of residual liquid by venting the boiloff to the atmosphere during the transfer tube cooling period. The system is most useful with liquids having very small heat of vaporization.

System measures unidirectional forces, excludes extraneous forces

System measures unidirectional force without interference from other directional forces. The measuring apparatus is mounted so that it only moves vertically and is constrained from horizontal and rotational movement. This system can be used to accurately measure small forces in one direction, or as an analytic balance.
