Collapsible Fabric Tank Testing

Abstract

A test program was conducted on military fuel and water static storage tanks which involved the following: 1) Weatherometer aging of government supplied tanks to 2000 hours, 2) Fuel testing of tank materials for 14, 28 and 42 days in Fuel B and MIL-F-46162B + EGME at 160 F, 3) Three different types of abrasion testing, 4) Development of non-destructive test methods to predict tank serviceability and remaining service life, 5) Analysis of packaging and handling of tanks with recommendations for increasing storage and service life. Weathering. (eg)
