Storage Reliability of Missile Materiel Program. Missile Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems Pump Analysis.
Abstract
This report documents findings on the non-operating reliability of pumps. The study consists of over 1.2 billion part hours. The sources show storage failure rate for Positive Displacement Pumps, Fixed and Variable, as 380.2 FITS (failures per billion hours) and 475.0 FITS respectively. It also gives failure rates for Kinetic, 200.0 FITS; Hydraulic, 95.3 FITS; and Fuel Pumps, 123.9 FITS. Elements of pump design are reviewed. This information is part of a research program being conducted by the U. S. Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The objective of this program is the development of non-operating (storage) reliability prediction and assurance techniques for missile materiel. (Author)
