Per your request, this letter contains the answers to the two questions you asked at the July Problem Review Board telecom: If the field joint secondary seal lifts off the metal mating surfaces during motor pressurization, how soon will it return to a position where contact is re-established? If the primary O-ring does not seal will the secondary seal seat in sufficient time to prevent joint leakage? Please call me or Mr. Roger Bioscopy if you have additional questions concerning this issue. What is the main trend, bottom line, and how might this bottom line have been better emphasized in the answer of question 2
