A possible fix to a leak in the oxidizer system of the Space Shuttle Discovery's attitude control system was proposed by MSFC. This fix involved the passing of a shuttlecock past the leaking Dynaflow fitting and sealing the vent tube containing the fitting with Chemseal 3808-A2. The question of whether the Chemseal 3808-A2 can flow into the leak path and provide a better seal was addressed analytically and by experiment to verify the analytical formula used. The results show that the equations are applicable and that the Chemseal will flow into the expected leak path and seal.
