HOT CELL EQUIPMENT DEVELOPED FOR REMOTE TENSION TEST SPECIMEN EVALUATIONS AT NRL.

Abstract

Hot cell equipment and experimental methods for ambient temperature testing of highly radioactive tension specimens are described. Auxiliary equipment developed to aid remote testing includes devices for the following operations: attachment of the specimen extensometer, post-test measurements of the specimen diameter for determining the percent reduction of area and uniform strain, and the measurement of gage length elongation. The device for the continuous sensing of minimum specimen diameter and the system for autographic recording of instantaneous load-minimum diameter from test initiation to specimen failure are described in detail.
