This report covers the investigation by the Chemical |
|
Subgroup of the Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluid Task |
|
Force. The Task Force was organized in 1975-76 to address |
|
the problems arising from the introduction of the new |
|
'less-flammable' MIL-H-46170, 'Hydraulic Fluid, Rust- |
|
Inhibited, Synthetic Hydrocarbon Base, Fire-Resistant.' |
|
The problems were associated with stuck/inoperative servo- |
|
values in the gun control systems of the M60A1 (AOS) |
|
tanks. The problems were subsequently identified with one |
|
company's product which contained a trace amount of a |
|
water-coupling inhibitor, polypropylene glycol. The |
|
inhibitor in the presence of absorbed moisture caused |
|
coprecipitation of the rust inhibitor which deposited on |
|
the critical surfaces of spool valve systems. (Author) |
