Effect of corrosion inhibitors on lubricity as measured by the ball-on-cylinder instrument. Final report, March 1985-July 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7128031
This report is an investigation to determine the effects of corrosion inhibitors on the lubricity of different types of fuels. The lubricity level of each fuel sample was measured using the Interav Ball-on-Cylinder Tester. The three most common inhibitors currently used by the Air Force (herein referred to as Corrosion Inhibitors C1, C2 and C3) were tested in petroleum and shale JP-4, JP-8 and isopar with and without other additives present. 'Normalization' procedures were used to evaluate inhibitor effectiveness relative to the wear scar of clay-treated fuels. Other additives were found to have effects on lubricity of fuel with corrosion inhibitor. Temperature variations of 13 degrees C had only a slight effect on fuel lubricity.
