DEVELOPMENT OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER MATERIAL FOR GASKETS AND PACKINGS IN DEEP SUBMERGENCE SUBMARINES

Abstract

A second phase in the devopmeof dp submergence gasket material has been completed. Three rubber stocks, selected on the basis of tests described in Progress Report No. 1, have now been evaluated in a high-pressure test tank. One of the stocks performed satisfactorily in allaspects, but may be too high in hardness for certain applications A ird hase of the project is nearly complete. A group of seven stocks in the 60-80 durometer hardness range are being tested in the Laboratory, and current data indicate that at least two of them should be evaluated in the pressure test tank as candidate materials.
