The assessment of seal performance and lifetime prediction in a nuclear environment

  • 1. Materials Development Div., AERE Harwell, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORA (UK)

Description

A method of seal lifetime prediction has been developed using time-temperature superposition to determine the functional relationships between compression set and the accelerating variables, that is, temperature, dose, and rose rate. Using this technique, seal lifetimes under service conditions can be predicted even when the elastomer exhibits dose rate effects ir synergism between radiation and temperature
