| 内容記述 | The Langley 0.3-Meter Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel (0.3-m TCT) was placed in operation at NASA's Langley Research Center in 1973 as the world's first cryogenic pressure tunnel. The 0.3-m TCT can operate from ambient to cryogenic temperatures over an absolute pressure range from about 1 to 6 atmospheres. Three major test section concepts were developed and refined in this unique facility. The 0.3-m TCT is a leader in the development of various cryogenic pressure wind tunnel experimental techniques, instrumentation, control, model technology and safety standards. The safety experience gained is examined. During this period of advanced research, new operating techniques, training policies, and procedures had to be established. The paper deals with the Do's and Don'ts of cryogenic wind tunnel testing. Hazards and safety requirements which are unique to cryogenic testing are discussed. Highlights of experience and lessons learned with the 0.3-m TCT are reviewed. |
