EVALUATION OF SHINGLE INSULATION FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS
Abstract
Investigation continued on a thermal insulation which has possible applications in protecting structural components, including rocket nozzles, from aerodynamic and combustor heating. The insulation is made up of thin overlapping strips of refractory materials bonded to the structure atesults of structural tests in aerodynamic nvironment including simulated conditions of Mach 1.6 at sea level and Mach 5 at 95,000 ft, are reported. Several esigns of shingles survived these conditions and withstood more severe tests in which artifically generated shock waves impinged on the insulated san acu e angle and is referred to as shingles. Thermal conductivity measurements of several stainless steel panels having variations in stagger angle and spacing of shingles are reported. Results of structural tests in aerodynamic nvironment including simulated conditions of Mach 1.6 at sea level and Mach 5 at 95,000 ft, are reported. Several esigns of shingles survived these conditions and withstood more severe tests in which artifically generated shock waves impinged on the insulated surface. (Author)
