Abstract
Thermal convection loops which are relatively inexpensive and easy to fabricate have been found to be useful for screening alloys prior to their full-fledged tests for compatibility studies in liquid sodium using forced circulation loops. Type 347 stainless steel was selected for studies in a thermal convection loop in view of the possibility of improving its high temperature mechanical properties by thermo-mechanical treatments (1). This paper describes the construction and operation of a thermal convection loop made out of type 347 SS and presents the results obtained after operating the loop for 8061 h.
