reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA116760 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This study investigated the relative shielding capabilities of three EMIRFI door seal designs the double-mesh gasket, the wiping compression contact fingerstock gasket, and the recessed fingerstock contact knife edge. The effects of aging and wear on the doors when no maintenance was applied and the effectiveness of the manufacturers recommended maintenance procedures were investigated. The effects of electroplating tin on door seal contacts were also determined.
