Abstract
A liner for lining the interior surface of a canister which carries and sorts the launching of a projectile includes a first resilient layer, a second thermally reflective layer, and a third layer having a low coefficient of friction. The first layer contacts the inner surface of the canister, the second layer is interposed between the first and third layer, and the third layer contacts the outer surface of the projectile.
Claims6
A radiation resistant liner for a projectile canister, comprising:
- a first layer of resilient material formed into a sheet having a grooved surface on one side and a smooth surface on the other side, the lands of the grooved surface bonded to the inner surface of the canister;
- a second layer of thermally reflective material formed into a sheet covering and bonded to the smooth surface of the first layer;
- and
- a third layer of material having low coefficients of friction and low coefficients of thermal and chemical activity formed into a sheet covering and bonded to the second layer, the third layer material being essentially transparent to the radiation reflected by the second layer.
