Sonar Transducer Reliability Improvement Program FY80.

Abstract

Progress accomplished during the first quarter of FY80 in the Sonar Transducer Reliability Improvement Program is reported. Each of the six major task areas is discussed in some detail. The most significant aspects include determinations that high purity SF6 for use in transducers is an unnecessary expense, a cork-silicone composition is a better pressure release material than the commonly used cork-neoprene composition, and that unshielded cable cannot be used in compression-type hull penetrators. Several new starts are identified. (Author)
