DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE-RESISTANT WATER BASE HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Abstract
The broad objective is the development of a usable, fire-resistant, water-base hydraulic fluid for shipboard use, in which the nonaqueous phase is fire-resistant. The contract effort is restricted to water solutions as contrasted with emulsions and/or suspensions. Fire resistance in the nonaqueous phase is important in hydraulic systems operating at 5000 psi, where the aqueous phase in certain segments of the system may, under special circumstances, evaporate, thereby leaving a hazardous explosive residue, and where spray leaks develop there may be flammable residues exposed to ignition sources.
