Sealing of Integral Fuel Tanks

1998-05-01
HISTORICAL
AIR4069A
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents preferred practices for sealing of aircraft integral fuel tanks, including rework of applied fuel tank seals. It addresses engineering designs for integral fuel tanks as they are currently found in practice; and this document discusses the most practical and conservative methods for producing a reliable, sealed system. Design preferences for optimum sealing are not within the scope of this document. Such discussions can be found in the Air Force sponsored handbook, entitled Aircraft Integral Fuel Tank Design Handbook, AFWAL-TR-87-3078. Key objectives of the fuel tank sealing process are to produce a sealing plane that is leak-free and corrosion resistant, especially at fastener locations, at environmental and operational conditions expected for the life of each air vehicle.

SEALING INTEGRAL FUEL TANKS

1990-10-01
HISTORICAL
AIR4069
This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents preferred practices for sealing and repairing integral fuel tanks. It addresses several basic fuel tank designs as they are currently found in practice and discusses the most practical and conservative methods for producing a reliable, sealed system. Design preferences for optimum sealing are not within the scope of this document. Such discussions can be found in the Air Force sponsored handbook entitled Aircraft Integral Fuel Tank Design Handbook, AFWAL-TR-87-3078. The basic goal in sealing an integral fuel tank is to produce a system that is leak-free for the long term under the environmental and operational conditions expected.

SEALING COMPOUND, ONE-PART SILICONE Aircraft Firewall

2011-08-09
HISTORICAL
AMS3374
This specification covers a one-part, high-temperature-resistant silicone sealing compound which cures to an elastomeric material upon exposure to air and is furnished in cartridges ready for extrusion. Acid is not given off during cure. A primer is required to achieve maximum adhesion.
