Description: Investigation of the performance of Inconel 739 (a nickel-base alloy of low critical-element content) buckets in a J33-9 engine showed that Inconel 739 had an engine life at least equivalent if not superior to S-816 buckets operated at 1500 degrees F. Inconel 739 buckets had a small scatter in life and exhibited lower total elongation than S-816. Bucket life was less than that predicted on; the basis of stress-rupture considerations alone. The failure mechanism was probably influenced by fatigu… more

Technical Information for Application of Differential Pressure Transmitters in Pulse Column Bottom Interface Control Systems

Description: The information in this report is based on experience with a similar unit installed on experimental pule columns in the 321 Building. These installations were made to demonstrate the feasibility of the system. In one case, the installation on the 2A Prototype Column, the differential pressure cell (D/P cell) bottom interface control system was monitored by a capacitance-type instrument. The other installations were made on glass columns and were monitored visually.
