DTIC ADA216015: Fuel Elastomer Compatibility Studies Results

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Five collapsible, elastomer-coated fabric products were exposed to four middle distillate fuels and to a middle distillate fuel simulant. The coated fabrics were represented by a drum material, a pillow tank fabric and its seam section, and a berm liner with its seam section. Each of these samples was treated as individual materials. Compatibility of these products was studied under accelerated conditions, during which each elastomer was submerged in each fuel for 14 days at 80 C. The effects of the fuels on the elastomers and the effects of the elastomers on the fuels were evaluated using visual observations, photomicrographs, infrared spectroscopy, and measurement of hardness, color, gum, and water contents. Keywords: Accelerated testing, Fuel tanks, Fuel degradation, Compatibility
