Summary

"Elastomeric and plastic O-ring seals were exposed to liquid and vapor phases of nitrogen tetroxide, chlorine trifluoride, 1:1 mixture of hydrazine-unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine, and 90% hydrogen peroxide under in-use conditions. Materials included polyethylene, Teflon, butyl, ethylene/propylene, Vitons A and B, were tested under compression, in closed static system, in direct contact with text fluid. The rate of fluid loss through the seal was determined directly. Text method and results are described. Polyethylene encapsulated O-rings and metal-clad elastomeric O-rings as seals for nitrogen tetroxide systems are also discussed." -- page iii
