IDEA #267MAT Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine Leak Indicator

Areas of Application The indicator is designed for visual detection of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (heptyl) leak as a result of through defects in detachable pipe connections of rocket fuel systems by a local change in color Specifi cation The product is made in the form of ribbon with geometric parameters chosen depending on the dimensions of pipeline connections. The original color of indicator’s surface is orange. While contacting the places of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine leaks the indicator changes its color to green or blue. The minimum unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine leak reliably detectable by the indicator during 5-minute test is about 10–7 m3· Pa/s. The product can be used in the temperature range from +5 to +50 °C at a relative humidity of 98% Advantages As compared with analogs, the product is more sensitive and suitable for the use in tropical conditions IPR Protection IPR3 Stage of Development.
