Description
Summary:Preliminary meetings on coring of the graphite have been held with interested parties of the Technical and Production Divisions at which time the advantages and problems of coring were discussed. The advantages and the problems which must be surmounted in order to core have been presented to the working committee. A study of the means of accomplishing coring has been made considering only the central and maximum fringe coring. It is important that the minimum and maximum coring be established as soon as possible so that the coal coring pattern can be worked out and the design completed. From the studies that have been made thus far the 10 mil center core-60 mil fringe core appears to be the most favorable choice. The advantages and disadvantages of several possible coring combinations (central to fringe) are tabulated. The statements and graphs of temperatures made in this tabulation are based on the results of the analogue tests. The estimates of pile expansion resulting from various coring patterns are based on report HDC-1987 by R.K. Andersen. These results are summarized in Figures 1, 2, and 3. The results of the analysis which Technical plans to make on the DR graphite sample will be compared with what would be predicted from this study.
