DEVELOPMENT OF SEALS FOR HIGH PRESSURE AIR SYSTEMS IN SUBMARINES

Abstract

The Laboratory was requested to develop a formulation for rubber s als to be used in the high pressure air systems of fleet-ballistic-missile submarines. The two best stocks reported previously were highly resistant to both the petroleum and phosphate-ester lubricants used in the air compressors. Seals made from both stocks had excellent resistance to swelling by hig pressure air. O-rings pr pared from the fir t stock, showed mo erate backrinding hen removed from hot molds. The second stock cured without backrinding. (Author)
