Description
The Package Design No. 2927A consists of a stainless steel Case Design No. 2927, which carries five UF6 sample bottles Design No. 2926 (2926 bottle) within cork packing. The cork provides mechanical under normal conditions of transport and thermal protection under the IAEA Type B thermal test. The 2926 bottle is designed so that the product tube (being that part of the bottle that carries the UF6) can be disconnected from the valve at a flange. The product tube has a plain cylindrical cavity providing a wide aperture which ensures that there are no traps for residual material: this facilitates thorough cleaning to ensure that there will be no contamination of samples.
