Wet Chemistry Instrument Prototype

摘要

The objective of the wet chemistry instrument breadboard program has been to obtain data on the performance of a prototype, instrument system comparable to that which would be obtained from an actual flight instrument The following tasks were carried out to accomplish this objective:nA breadboard based on the flight instrument concept presented in the Final Report for NASA Contract NAS 2-6218 was designed and fabricated.nLaboratory materials compatibility tests to support breadboard design were carried out.nStep-by-step evaluation of the performance of each breadboard component for its function in the process sequence was conduct.nLaboratory tests in glassware for control analyses were carried out.nBreadboard performance demonstration tests with ratiotracers, NASA/ARC supplied soils, and amino acid-free soils were accomplished.nThe flight design concept based upon the breadb ard program results and the new baseline Processing Sequence No.2 was revised and updated.
