Polyurethane Foam Pack Outdoor Storage Test

Abstract

A 3-year outdoor storage test of 6V53 engines packaged in polyurethane foam by the total encapsulation process was undertaken to evaluate alternate tops and/or the need for a top. It was concluded that the current top was inadequate and that a 2- by 2-inch nominal wood frame with a 3/8-inch-thick plywood cover was necessary to safeguard the polyurethane foam as an effective water vapor barrier.
