The attached memo by G. N. Krouse of Sturm-Krouse, Inc. gives results of a preliminary analysis of the deflections of beam holes due to thermal expansion and internal pressure in the vessel. A partial solution of the problem is suggested. Based on preliminary pressure-temperature data the following deflections were derived: Movement of horizontal beam tubes = 0.046 in. Movement of Engineering facility tubes = 0.117 in. Vertical motion of the vessel at the horizontal beam tubes due to thermal expansion may be eliminated by locating the supports in that plane. That also will reduce the expansion at the point where the slant tubes pierce the vessel wall.
