Description / Abstract:
Much of the available long-term storage test dats has been
reviewed topically separated to enable the independent discussion
of storage effects on fluids, seals, hydraulic components, and
hydraulic systems. Comments are made in Section 4 concerning the
applicability of the test results and regard ing design practices
for storability. Conclusions are d r awn in Section 5 rega rding
inactive storage of hydraulic systems for at least a 7 year
period.
PURPOSE: Queries are not easily answered as to how long a
missile hydraulic system may be inoperatively stored without
affecting its fi nal performance. This Aerospace Information Report
summarizes the pertinent results of hydraulic system practices
leading to greater storability.
