RESEARCH ON INHIBITED N2O4

Abstract

This program is concerned with extending the engineering evaluation of the new storable liquid oxidizer INTO which is NTO inhibited with 1 to 3 weight percent FNO2. Storability tests will be conducted on INTO stored at ambient temperature and at 70 C in aluminum, iron, and titanium tanks of 10- to 20-gallon volume. All necessary equipment for these tests is presently available or has been ordered. Small-scale storability tests are to be performed on INTO stored at ambient temperature, at 70 C, and at 130 C in iron and titanium bombs of 20-milliliter volume. All of the equipment has been assembled for these tests. Titanium 6Al-4V specimens stressed to 90,000 psi at ambient temperature and at 70 C will be observed for possible failures. The bar stock for fabricating the stress frames and stress specimens has been ordered. The design of the tanks in which the stressed specimens will be stored has been completed.
