During the development of rocket propulsion systems, separable connectors were needed that could effectively perform in rocket-system environments. A connector was designed and designated as the AFRPL connector. Qualification tests were conducted to verify that the AFRPL connector could meet the extreme requirements of rocket fluid systems. The report is concerned with the testing phase of the program. (Author)
