The objective of the work described in the paper was to evaluate long-term storage compatibility of different chemical classes of hydraulic fluid in a simulated missile hydraulic system. Laboratory evaluations simulating storage of hydraulic systems to include fluid, steel, and elastomer under comression were conducted and are described in this paper. This storage test method is also described. Three chemical classes of candidate hydraulic fluids were evaluated: a disiloxane, a polyalphaolefin, and an experimental silahydrocarbon oil. Real time and accelerated tests were performed and results compared. The results indicate that long-term storage of the disiloxane, especially with water present, can lead to fluid decomposition and metal interaction. The polyalphaolefin and silahydrocarbon, on the other hand, were totally unaffected by the same storage conditions.
