LPU-21/P Life Preserver Casing Material Program.

Abstract

LPU-21/P Life Preserver Casings manufactured from High Temperature Aramid Cloth (MIL-C-81814) has a tendency to unravel at edges, making manufacture difficult with seam separation. A new Aramid Plain Weave Cloth (MIL-C-83429) does not unravel as easily. A number of preservers were manufactured from the new cloth and were given a special evaluation by operational squadrons. The casings withstood wear well and the new material would eliminate most of the raveling and seam separation problems.
