field joint

The others, like that for the field joint, were overridden repeatedly.

Part of the answer is that the field joint was simply one of many problems threatening the shuttle.

Without thinking about it, he let his gaze wander to the aft field joint of the right-hand solid rocket booster.

HER account reaches back to 1977, when it was first discovered that the design of the solid-rocket-booster field joint was flawed.

The aft field joint on the right SRB did show extensive burn damage.

The origin of the debris was the forward field joint on the right-hand SRB.

None of the hot gases in the rocket interiors, however, had breached the triple set of O-rings on each field joint.

The SRBs' "field joints" were supposed to close more tightly as a result of forces generated by ignition.

Field measurements shall be taken where required to assure proper fit and to minimize field joints and splices.

(After the destruction of Challenger, the number of O-rings per field joint was increased to three.)

Heat-shrinkable sleeves are applied onto the cutback at the field weld or "field joint" during the construction of a pipeline.

One of those never-flown field joints springs a leak at altitude, maybe right after max-Q, we'll see a pretty big up there....

It appears, however, that it might be practical to produce and apply much wider material, thus greatly reducing the number of field joints in the roofing.

Due to the success of the partial privatization, the Soldier Field Joint Venture started managing the stadium in late 1994.

Surface Preparation High quality surface cleaning of pipeline field joints is vital for the successful application of any coating system.

Individuals erred, not in failing to question the safety of the field joints, but in failing to question the infallibility of the system.

It was later determined that these smoke puffs were caused by the opening and closing of the aft field joint of the right-hand SRB.

The rockets are shipped from Utah in pieces and assembled in the "field" in Florida, resulting in three field joints on each rocket.

Early this month, NASA found that all six of the field joints from Columbia had shown unusual scorching and soot accumulation deep inside the joint.

Over 47,000 field joints, plus associated bends and fittings were successfully coated onsite, at production speeds of up to 550 joints per day - a world record!

The factory joints were sealed with asbestos-silica insulation applied over the joint, while each field joint was sealed with two rubber O-rings.

In 1981, after just the second flight of the space shuttle, NASA discovered that the field joints connecting sections of the shuttle's rocket booster were experiencing anomalies.

For each flight, the four resulting segments were then assembled in the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), with three field joints.

At Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base near Houston, strong winds blew off the top of a hangar, destroyed five planes, and injured at least 22 cadets.

His name still adorns the museum display F-16 Fighting Falcon just inside the front gate of the Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston Texas.
