[RASMB] torque strength with Al centerpieces

[Karen Fleming]

We have a user here who is having leakage problems with some Aluminum 
2-sector centerpieces. We're using sapphire windows, so has anyone had 
any experience torquing these cells to 130 or 140? Would this damage 
the centerpieces? I know that charcoal-epon centerpieces can be torqued 
higher, but they are not an option for this experiment at the moment.
