DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED JAN 6299.
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to determine the life results of the improved tube to 5000 hours and to determine the nature of any resulting failures so that information can be made available for possible tube or manufacturing improvements. Control tubes were constructed for extended life testing. These tubes are standard JAN 6299's; however, they do include some of the benefits of the improved cathode spray project. Cathodes were sprayed with the Paasche A-automatic spray gun and the improved masking fixtures were used. The cathodes were sprayed to the density being used prior to optimization of cathode spray. Tubes were constructed utilizing the improvements developed during the contract. These tubes and the control tubes were placed on life test. Values of characteristics at various time intervals were recorded for both PEM and Control samples. Statistics calculated from these sample data include: Mean values, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. Tables are given which show these statistics.
