High pressure burst tests at cryogenic temperatures
Abstract
Abstract Based on the experience of different burst tests on neutron moderators, the best procedure of performing these tests, starting with cooling and filling the vessels, recording of the burst occurrence with high-speed cameras, the methods for evaluating the images and the comparison with the results of structural mechanical simulations are described.
