“…The primary degradation mechanism for the H1616 O-rings is expected to be thermo-oxidation, [4]. It was suspected that the argon backfill limits oxidation of the O-rings, thereby significantly extending the useful service life.…”

“…Current expectations are that the O-rings will maintain a seal at bounding normal temperatures in service (152 °F) for at least 12 months. The baseline aging data review suggests that the EPDM O-rings are likely to retain significant mechanical properties and sealing force at bounding service temperatures to provide a service life of at least 2 years [2]. At lower, more realistic temperatures, longer service life is likely.…”

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.
