Distributing Radiant Heat in Insulation Tests

Thermally radiating blanket of stepped thickness distributes heat over insulation sample during thermal vacuum testing. Woven of silicon carbide fibers, blanket spreads heat from quartz lamps evenly over insulation sample. Because of fewer blanket layers toward periphery of sample, more heat initially penetrates there for more uniform heat distribution.

Improved radiant-heat oven

Greatly improved oven materially increases lamp life by using a new reflector arrangement. Entire unit uses less power, yet heats test articles to higher temperatures with lower cooling requirements than previous ovens. Improved design offers significant savings in costs and energy.
