RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 Spare seal cavities should be designed with maximum bottom radii, both to eliminate stress risers and to distinguish the spare seal cavity from the actual seal glands.

11、Half round cavities may be considered for rod type T-Seals or O-rings. 3.2 All spare seal cavity edges are to be smooth and free of sharp edges and burrs to eliminate seal damage during installation. 3.3 Design considerations must assure that spare seals cannot function as a static seal. Since MIL-S

12、pecs require seal elastomers to swell 10 to 20% in MIL-PRF-5606 and 5 to 15% in MIL-PRF-83282, these increases in volume must be considered. 3.4 Spare seal cavities should be located downstream (nonpressurized side) of the active static seals. This location minimizes fluid contact, reducing seal swe

13、ll which can make seal installation difficult or impossible. Seal swell in excess of 15% increase in circumference has been seen after 500 h in MIL-PRF-5606. 3.5 Seals should be lubricated and packed in grease in the spare seal cavities. A list of recommended greases with typical swell is included i

14、n Appendix A. 3.6 Seals are to be stored in their “as molded“ configuration. When seals are turned inside out and stretched over the lower bearing, excessive stress is applied to the dynamic sealing surfaces. 3.7 If seals are installed in separate grooves, backup rings may be stored with the seals.

15、3.8 Several aircraft have recently been designed with active spare seals. This design as shown in Figure 1 uses two seals in tandem with a normally open valve arrangement between them to eliminate a pressure differential across the inboard or spare seal. When the outboard seal fails, the valve is cl

16、osed and the inboard seal becomes the primary seal. Although the life of this seal is not as long as the outboard seal, it is a spare seal arrangement that should be considered.

17、 fluids, such as MIL-PRF-5606 and MIL-PRF-83282. Phosphate ester systems using Skydrol or Hyjet fluids with EPR type elastomers may exhibit different stretch and swell characteristics and require alternate compatible greases for installation. 3.10 Design considerations should include the prevention

18、of pressure trapping between the static seal and spare seals.

19、 shown in tabular form in Figure 2. 3.12 The spare seal gland size and location should not allow deformation of the lower bearing created by extended loads of the piston during aircraft take off. 4. TEST RESULTS Several tests have been run to guide the designer in addressing the permanent set and sw

20、ell of stored seals. These tests all utilized an elastomer meeting the MIL-P-25732 specification. 4.1 In the first test typical seals were stretched on mandrels 5, 10, 15, and 20% larger than the standard rod diameter for these seals, then aged 500 h in MIL-PRF-5606 fluid at 160 F. The results are s

21、hown in Figure 3. This test was originally planned to extend to 1000 h but fluid swell expanded the seal diameter beyond the mandrel diameter after 500 h exposure. 4.2 Since seal swell was clearly the predominant factor, several nitrile seal materials were immersed in commercial strut fluids and vol

22、ume swell results of long-term soaks are shown in Figure 4. 4.3 To isolate the effects of long-term tensile set without the effects of fluid, the test described in 4.1 was repeated in air at 160 F. The results of these tests are shown in Figure 5. 4.4 In a further attempt to isolate stored seals fro

23、m fluid swell, a 7441-ft T-Ring was installed with a typical 5% stretch and sealed in the groove with a viscous silicone grease (Dow Corning DC-55). The assembly was then dipped into MIL-PRF-5606 fluid once a week to simulate downstream seal leakage. After six months the seal was removed and measure

24、d seal swell was only 1.5% of the original diameter. 4.5 The seals used in these tests were T-Seals of the following type as shown in Table 1: TABLE 1 Part Number Dimensions Application 7451FT 11.500 OD x .275 Cx 747 MLG Dynamic Strut Seal 7441FT 7.510 OD x .275 Cx DC-10 NLG Dynamic Strut Seal 7339F

25、T 3.640 OD x .210 Cx 737 NLG Dynamic Strut Seal 5. CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Seal swell due to fluid contact is a major problem when attempting to install a seal that has been exposed to hydraulic fluid. 5.2 Tensile set, even if seal is stretched 20%, should not be cause for concern. 5.3 By locating the spare

26、 seal downstream from the static seal and packing it in a low swell grease, minimum swell and less installation difficulty will be encountered. 6.
