The main thrust of the program was directed toward two objectives: (1) development of apparatus for the measurement of ignitability characteristics of fluids at high temperatures (up to 930 Cel), and (2) the use of that and other apparatus for the determination of ignitability, flame propagation properties, and heats of combustion of a number of aircraft fluids. These included currently used hydraulic fluids, candidate nonflammable hydraulic fluids, and other aircraft fluids such as lubricants fuels, and heat transfer fluids. The studies were successful in the identification of candidate nonflammable hydraulic fluids. These fluids were identified as Halocarbon AO-8, Freon E6.5, and Brayco 814Z. A semiautomatic ignition test apparatus was built that can be used to measurements at temperatures up to 1000 Cel. The operation range of a hot manifold ignition test apparatus was extended up to 930 Cel. (DePo)
