11. Some Peculiarities of Ensuring LRE Guarantied Service Life in the Conditions of Replacement of Components of Interindustry Application

Annotation: The article considers the present-day aspects of predicting and establishing the guaranteed service life of liquid rocket engines. The phases and sequence of works to specify the guarantee periods are presented. The physical ground for determining thermal ageing test modes and increased humidity test modes is set forth. The mathematical dependencies are given to determine the time of testing at increased temperature, increased relative humidity, equivalent article storage temperature. The generalized list and sequence of tests to establish a guarantee period are set forth. The content of works is considered to seek for and introduce new components of inter-industry application, in particular, replacing materials for rubber mixtures during production of rubber technical goods, polymer materials (fluoroplastics, polyamides), isotropic pyrographite, ozone friendly means for degreasing liquid rocket engine assemblies being in contact with propellant component – oxygen and to seek for alternative bearings.
