>> THE WHITE SANDS
TEST FACILITY
HAS THE CAPABILITY TO PERFORM
GASEOUS FLUID IMPACT TESTING
FOR IGNITION SUSCEPTIBILITY.
IN THE OXYGEN WEDDING
IGNITION SENSITIVITY EVALUATION
TEST SYSTEM,
SPACE SUIT AND ISS
OXYGEN SYSTEM COMPONENTS
ARE EXPOSED TO
THE POTENTIAL RISK OF
OXYGEN PNEUMATIC IMPACT
TO ENSURE MATERIAL
AND COMPONENT DESIGN ROBUSTNESS.
THE SYSTEM CAN EVALUATE
A DESIGN'S IGNITION SENSITIVITY
UP TO 10,000 PSIA
AND CAN BE CUSTOMIZED
TO SIMULATE STATIC
AND DYNAMIC CONDITIONS,
SUCH AS MATE AND DE-MATE.
