PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURE FOR A PHASE 2 SUPER POWER HYDROGEN THYRATRON TUBE
Abstract
Based on experience obtained with the first two tubes constructed under this contract, three additional tubes per design A were built during the fourth quarter period covered by this report. They were made with a heavier flange and different seal for the anode. Owing to this change, assembly of the tube was made safer and more flexible, and better alignment between sub assemblies and more accurate inspection became possible during assembly. Exhaust and thorough baking did not affect these tubes in any notice able way. Operating characteristics were investigated and found to possess satisfactory re producibility. Two tubes were operated success fully at the power level of the Stanford linear accelerator (epy 40KV; Ib 4.0 Adc; ib 3000a). Construction of the test equipment is proceeding.
