A continuation of an article which appeared in June 1970 issue of CRYOGENICS. This second article describes tests carried out since that time on the effect of various foreign bodies on a road tanker type of centrifugal pump with bronze casing and impeller, and also investigates the different material combinations used for this type of pump. Tests were carried out on high and low pressure pumps and the results in each case are compared Fire tests on centrifugal pumps handling liquid oxygen -Part 2
