HYPERSONIC TEST STAND MODEL INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The model instrumentation for the Mach 14 Hyper sonic Test Stand was developed to provide a means for supporting the articles in the test stand flow environment, varying the orientation of the test article with respect to the flow environ ment, and obtaining data on the force, pressure, and temperature loads to which the test article is exposed in the flow environment. The model instrumentation consists essentially of four sub-systems: (1) a model support system, (2) a model force measuring system, (3) a model sur face pressure measuring system, and (4) a model surface temperature measuring system.
