Abstract
A static flat plate test apparatus was used to determine the load carrying capacity of circular thrust plates. The load carrying capacities of nine different pad and orifice coinbinations were determined experimentally using nitrogen and helium gas as the pressuriziug medium. Actual load as a function of plate separation curves were developed at plate supply pressures from 25 to 250 psig. Iucluded are descriptions of the apparatus in addition to the curves which were developed for gas-lubricated bearing design. (auth)
