Good morning Covers
The product is a European pressure transducer for a space application.
For non-metallic products, I expect to see the outgassing values reported in the Declared Materials List. (normal work for a space product, high values are not allowed)
But, the supplier points out the complete assembly is hermetically sealed and any outgassing from non-metallics will be contained inside the housing and will not affect the spacecraft.
I almost agree here, but think if a material outgasses excessively, it could contaminate the electronic circuitry within. So they need to report the outgassing values for the products used during build.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers
Paul
