Title: Measurement of water lost from heated geologic salt

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6036845· OSTI ID:6036845

This report describes three methods used to measure the rate at which water is lost from heated geologic salt. The three methods were employed in each of a series of proof tests which were performed to evaluate instrumentation designed to measure the water-loss rate. It was found that the water lost from heated, 1-kg salt specimens which were measured according to these three methods was consistent to within an average 9 percent.
