One test barrel out of the first nine ever made is not what I would call a high failure rate. The full reason why that one barrel failed is here but the short answer is one mandrel was used that had been made too big then machined down to size, which allowed too many air leaks during the autoclaving process.

The problem has already been diagnosed and solved.

I am not talking about failure in testing, I am talking about straight from the autoclave to the garbage.
