Hydrodynamic Shock Test on Submarine Underwater Electric Log Equipment
Abstract
The units of the Pitometer Log Corporation's underwater electric log system, rotary balance type RB-25, supplied under contract NXSs-24953, were furnished for these tests. Those units of this system which are hydraulically coupled to the sea and are directly affected by pressure changes due to depth of submergence and/or underwater explosions were set up at this Laboratory, in a suitable manometric calibrating system where they were subjected to hydrostatic pressures up to 350 psi. upon which were superimposed dynamic pressure pulses of increasing magnitudes, until failure of any component part of the system was observed or until a maximum dynamic pressure pulse of 2000 psi. was attained.
