Westinghouse Savannah River Co., Aiken, SC (United States), J Wermer, USDOE, Washington, DC (United States) · 1993
Pressure sensors from ten MKS series 390 and 690 Baratron{reg_sign} capacitance manometers were hydrostatically burst tested by the Engineering and Materials Technology Department (E&MT). Four MKS series 390 Baratron{reg_sign} 0{minus}10 torr sensors had an average case burst pressure of 915 psig. Five MKS series 690 Baratron{reg_sign} 0{minus}1 torr sensors had an average case burst pressure of 1301 psig, and one MKS series 690 Baratron{reg_sign} 0{minus}1000 torr sensor had a case burst pressure of 938 psig.
