Development of High Temperature Seal-Lubricant Deposit Evaluation Techniques.
Abstract
Equipment and procedure refinements were required to develop a more suitable evaluation test for MIL-L-9236 type lubricants as well as for higher temperature fluids. An evaluation test, using an ASD seal-lubricant rig, has been under development to determine the performance of lubricants at elevated temperatures. Repeatability and correlation with engine results were established. Procedures are given for cleaning and operating the rig, for evaluating seal deposits, and for detail deposit photography. Seal head design to improve rig operation and facilitate adaptation to the Erdco Universal Tester has been constructed and is under development. Equipment and procedures developed will enable more wide spread use of the evaluation technique. (Author)
