STORABLE PROPELLANT DATA FOR THE TITAN II PROGRAM

Abstract

Tests were conducted to determine the effects of the Titan II propellants on metals and non-metals and the effects of metals on fuel decomposition. The Titan II propellants are N2O4 as the oxidizer and a 50/50 blend of UDMH and N2H4 as the fuel. The fire hazards of various materials were determined during drip tests with N2O4 and 50/50 fuel blend separately. Storability data is presented for the fuel blend at 60 + or - 5 F. Also, fuel blend separation data was determined after storage at 60 + or - 5 F. Presented is the data from the U. S. Bureau of Mines regarding flammability characteristics of 50/50 fuel blend - N2O4 - air - water mixtures.
