EFFECTS OF CORROSION INHIBITORS ON THE WATER COALESCING CHARACTERISTICS OF MILITARY STANDARD FILTER/COALESCER ELEMENTS
Abstract
The report covers a study of the effects of seven corrosion inhibitors on the coalescing characteristics of the DOD-type filter/coalescer elements used to decontaminate liquid hydrocarbon fuels. These corrosion inhibitors are specified for use in military jet fuels, Specification MIL-I-25017, 'Inhibitors, Corrosion, Fuel Soluble.' The report concludes that: The corrosion inhibitors did not produce any adverse effects on the ability of military standard filter/coalescer elements to remove 1-percent water from JP-5 fuel that had been treated with fuller's earth; The free-water content of the fuel passed through the filter/coalescer elements during the 1-percent water injection tests ranged from 0 to 2.0 parts per million (ppm) which is within specification limits; The WSIM's of the inhibited JP-5 fuel during the tests were between 16 and 70; The low, free-water content did not correlate directly with the relatively low WSIM's; and The WSIM cannot be used solely to determine the ability of a military standard filter/coalescer element to decontaminate inhibited JP-5 after it has been treated with fuller's earth. However, the WSIM does give an indication of the ability of a filter/coalescer element to decontaminate uninhibited JP-5.
