Return to articleGraph of flow per inch of seal versus pressure drop across seal from 0 to 120 psf, where 56 psf is the X-38 maximum. Results are shown for the flat face plate in the following conditions: nonscrubbed baseline 6.5-in. seal, worst scrub damage, scrubbed against Kapton tape, least scrub damage, and least scrub damage with RTV. Results are also shown for the grooved face plate in the nonscrubbed and worst scrub damage conditions.
