22.4 Auxilary materials
In this chapter under auxilary materials media are understood, which can
not related to a continuous delivering
system. To these belong primarily lubrication greases (chapter 22.4-1), sealing
compounds (chapter 22.4.2) as well as cleaning agents and solvents (chapter 22.4.3 and chapter 19.2.3).
Auxilary materials play a considerable role for the function of an aeroengine. Usually they are
tested and approved by the OEM. In the instructions like MIL spezifications (Lit. 22.4-1), the limits
of application and properties are defined. However ,these give the producer definitely ranges for its
prodcuct. That makes it possible, that with a product change
surprisingly undesirably effects occur.
The testing and approval of auxilary materials must consider many influences. To these belong:
- Processibility/handling, removal, disposal/dumping (Fig. "Disposal of washing medium") and toxicity.
- Possible deteriorating effects at different materials with which the medium can get in contact.
- Operation influences like time, temperature, humidity/moisture, corrosion, other auxilary materials (e.g., solvents) on the function and aging of the auxilary material.
- Availability.
Confusions or unauthorised application can lead to considerably failures/damages and safety risks. Dangerously are also application specific media, wich are not scheduled from the OEM and instructions respectively manuals. To these belong especially lubrication greases for boltings (screws, nuts, Fig. "Bolt prestress decrease during service").
