Experimental Research on Sealing Structure Leak-Rate of Pressurized Tube

Article Preview

Abstract:

In aerospace engineering, seal is an important component of manned spacecraft life-support system. The pressurized tube sealing equipment is designed, and the experimental system of principle leak-rate of pressurized tube is built, and the experimental theory of the principle leak-rate of pressurized tube is carried out. The experimental results show that leak-rate of pressurized tube is related with the internal pressure of pressurized tube, and sealing ability can be adjusted by controlling the pressure in tube. And leak-rate of pressurized tube is involved with sealed pressure differential, and the bigger pressure differential is, the larger leak-rate becomes. And pressurized tube can fit for big structure transfiguration, which provides condition for lessening structural weight. And the pressurized tube can meet the demands of sealing of space station.
