Abstract

In this study, changes in the characteristics of O-rings and a blended fuel (ADD-BJF) consisting of bio-jet fuel and petroleum-based jet fuel (Jet A-1) were analyzed. Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and fluorocarbon rubber (FKM-1, 2) were used as the experimental O-rings. For all experimental O-rings, at the beginning of storage after contact with ADD-BJF the compression set value tended to increase sharply, but there was no significant change thereafter. In particular, the compression set value of NBR stored for 2 months increased by 12.1% when stored at 25 °C and 88.1% at 100 °C. These results indicate that NBR is more affected by the storage temperature than FKM-1 and FKM-2. In addition, the tensile strength and elongation of the FKM-1 and FKM-2 did not change with storage conditions, but for the NBR stored at 100 °C they decreased with storage time. The ignition delay time of aged ADD-BJF after contact with the O-ring increased by about 10% at the beginning of storage and then tended to increase modestly. To interpret these results, Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC/MS) analysis was performed and it indicated that the composition ratio of the aged ADD-BJF had changed.
