Effect of Oxidizing Fuels on Aircraft Fuel System Elastomers and Sealants

Abstract

Jet fuels containing peroxides resulting from hydrogenation during refining have potential for damaging fuel system elastomeric components. Immersion tests were conducted for 1000 hours between 130 - 165 F in JP-5 containing 1, 5, and 10 meq. peroxide/1000 gm fuel with various fuel system sealants and elastomers. Damage thresholds were indicated and maximum allowable peroxide contents were recommended. (Author)
