Evaluation of Next Generation Thermal Stability-Improving Additives for JP-8, Phase 2 - Specification, Materials, Filtration, and Fit-For-Purpose Evaluations

Abstract

This report recaps the findings in the Phase I report and describes the results of the Phase II Specification Testing, Fit-For-Purpose testing, Materials Compatibility Evaluations, and Filtration Testing. Details of the Phase II testing can be found in the final report issued from Pratt & Whitney ("Evaluation of Next Generation High Heat Sink Fuel Additives," FR-26662-5). It is available as AFRL Technical Report AFRL-RQ-WP-TR-2012-0267. While the Pratt & Whitney report documents engine manufacturer approval for use of all the additives evaluated in this study, not all are recommended for actual procurement and fielding base on the balance of data presented in this report. At the conclusion of this report, recommendations are made concerning which additives are recommended for field use.
