Summary of Elastomer/JP-7 Fuel Compatibility Test Programs from 1966 to 1972.
Abstract
This report summarizes many laboratory and field tests that have been performed since 1966 with low volatility JP-7 turbine fuel to determine its compatibility with collapsible fuel hoses and collapsible storage tanks. The principle fuel specification tests used to determine compatibility, after various periods of storage time, were thermal stability, gum content, water separometer index modified and particulate matter. A Viton lining appears to be the most promising material for JP-7 fuel servicing hoses if the hose is not collapsed following use. Under certain conditions storage tanks of a polyurethane material are satisfactory for limited storage of JP-7 fuel. (Author)
