Development of the accelerated testing procedure of streak tubes: Basic provisions

详细

Results of the studies of the sensitivity change in the course of the mean-time-between-failures tests of streak tubes produced by the Dukhov All-Russia Research Institute of Automatics, are presented. It is shown that for the correct determination of the lifetime of these streak tubes during accelerated tests, one should take into account the correction function attributable to processes of reversible changes in the sensitivity of the streak tube photocathode. The designed procedure for accelerated tests of streak tubes is described the basic distinction of which from the existing procedures consists in using this correction function.
