A stress-rupture apparatus was designed and built for testing filaments and wires having a diameter of 20 mils or less in a controlled atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Four tests may be run simultaneously at different stresses and temperatures (to 1427°C), and the stress-rupture life of each filament can be measured independently and automatically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
