Corrosion Resistance JP-10

[slickstyles5]

Hello,
Does anyone know of a book that would cover corrosion resistance of JP-10 with various elastomers / metals? From what I've seen, there only seems to be Viton that is OK with JP-10. Nitrile (Buna-N) is not OK and I'm not sure about PTFE Teflon? Does anyone know of some charts that include JP-10? Or books?
Thanks
Gabriel

If anyone has a link to an online chart that has any compatibility information of any material with JP-10, please post it.

Parker O-ring handbook lists FKM, FFKM and perfluoroelastomers as compatible. From memory, and based on the above, PTFE should be fine.

As far as metal corrosion, I don't think there are any real risks of the metal being attacked by JP-10. What is probably more of a concern is any catalytic cracking or degradation of the fuel in contact with different metals, esp. at high temperatures. But, would assume that one reason for using a fully synthetic fuel is to reduce that risk.

Thus far with my researching, I've seen that the only Elastomer that is compatible with JP-10 is Viton. In terms of plastics, it is very hard to find information regarding PTFE (Teflon). Does anyone know if PTFE is compatible with JP-10?

In terms of metals, I honestly have not found any information regarding JP-10. I am assuming stainless is OK. But does anyone know which metals they use with JP-10?

Thanks again!

There is a NASA standard on metals for fuel handling, but I am not sure how to find a copy anymore.
In general the more corrosion resistant the metal the more exotic fuels it will handle safely.

Suggest the researching begin with the MIL standard for the fuel.

Within that standard, is probably a reference to the fuel handling standard, MIL-STD-290, IIRC. Any special handling concerns would likely be noted therein.
