For this experiment, we were testing to see if the fibers could withstand various temperatures. I cut 4-1cm light guides and 4-1cm scintillating fibers. I measured their lengths and widths. The fibers were tested under 4 conditions: 180 deg Fahrenheit with distilled water, 150 deg F with distilled, 180 deg F with tap, and 150 deg F with tap.
On Monday, April 29th, the 150 degree F tap and distilled fibers were placed on a hot plate and set for approximately 50 hours. They were then removed from the hot plate and set to cool in a cabinet. The 180 degree F tap and distilled water was then placed on the hot plate on Wednesday, May 1st and left for approximately 50 hours.
