Improved atmospheric particle analyzer

Nephelometer measures aerosol particles in wide concentration and size distribution ranges. It measures the light scattered from the aerosol particles at a controlled sampling rate to ensure laminar flow through the sample tube, and thereby eliminate the need for sheath air.

Metal flame spray coating protects electrical cables in extreme environment

Metal flame spray coating prevents EMF measurement error in sheathed instrumentation cables which are externally attached to cylinders which were cooled on the inside, but exposed to gamma radiation on the outside. The coating provides a thermoconductive path for radiation induced high temperatures within the cables.

Protected, high-temperature connecting cable

Ceramic insulated, swaged stainless steel, sheathed, protective atmosphere cable admits electrical leads into an 1800 deg F air-environment test chamber. The cable has some bending capability and provides for nine niobium alloy conductors. An argon purge during the TIG weld closure protects internal wires from oxidation and embrittlement.

Tungsten-rhenium alloy thermocouples effective for high-temperature measurement

Tungsten-rhenium alloy thermocouples, specifically, insulated, sheathed W/W plus 26Re and W plus 5 Re/W plus 26 Re thermocouples, are effective for temperature measurement in excess of 2920 degrees C. These thermocouples have a high thermoelectric output and excellent relationship to temperatures up to 2760 degrees C.

Design concept for nonarcing electrical connector

Connector plug automatically minimizes arcing during mating and demating. This plug uses a high-resistivity outer sheath as an extension to the regular pin contact. It is used in atmospheres containing explosive gases, and reduces erosion at the contact surfaces where mating and demating are performed frequently.
