Space engineering - Compatibility testing for liquid propulsion components, subsystems and systems

ECSS-E-ST-35-10 belongs to the propulsion field of the mechanical discipline, as defined in ECSS-S-ST-00, and concerns itself with compatibility testing of propulsion components, sub-systems and systems. Compatibility encompasses the interaction of two or more materials, solids (e.g. structural materials), liquids (e.g. propellants, simulation and cleaning liquids) or gases (e.g. air, pressurants). In case the interaction has the effect that the properties of the materials change, there is the possibility of a compatibility issue. The standard: - identifies materials used in propulsion for which incompatibility can create problems, - identifies the time scale at which problems can occur. It makes a difference whether a system is only stored or operational for a short period and is to function only during launch (time scale measured in months) and systems that have a long life in orbit (time scale measured in years), - identifies the liquid propulsion components, subsystems and systems to be subject to compatibility testing, - identifies, specifies and defines the tests, test conditions and compatibility test procedures to ensure that representative compatibility testing can take place, and - establishes the test requirements. The standard is applicable to the design and the qualification of liquid propulsion components, sub-systems and systems and can be applied to their development; it also applies to COTS items procured for the propulsion system. From the tests described in this standard the effects of interactions of space propulsion materials and fluids on the components, subsystems and systems can be established. In this way it can be assured that the component, subsystem or system satisfies the requirements. This standard is limited to tests on component-, subsystem- and system-level. Only for those cases where new materials, substances or conditions are involved for which there is no experience or data available, the performance of screening tests is specified. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Vesoljska tehnika - Preskušanje skladnosti komponent tekočih pogonskih goriv

Standard ECSS-E-ST-35-10 pripada pogonskemu področju strojne discipline, kot je določeno v standardu ECSS-S-ST-00, in zajema testiranje združljivosti pogonskih sestavnih delov, podsistemov in sistemov. Združljivost zajema interakcijo dveh ali več materialov, trdnih snovi (npr. strukturnih materialov), tekočin (npr. pogonskih goriv, simulacijskih in čistilnih tekočin) ali plinov (npr. zrak, plini). Če je posledica interakcije sprememba lastnosti materialov, obstaja možnost težave z združljivostjo. Standard: - določa materiale za uporabo pri pogonu, pri katerih lahko nezdružljivost povzroči težave, - določa časovni okvir, v katerem lahko pride do težav. Ni vseeno, ali je sistem samo shranjen ali deluje le kratek čas in je namenjen le delovanju med izstrelitvijo (časovni okvir, merjen v mesecih) ali pa imajo sistemi dolgo življenjsko dobo v orbiti (časovni okvir, merjen v letih); - določa komponente tekočih pogonskih goriv, podsistemov in sistemov, ki so podvrženi preskusu združljivosti, - opredeljuje, specificira in določa preskuse, preskusne pogoje in postopke za preskus združljivosti, da je mogoče zagotoviti reprezentativno preskušanje združljivosti in - določa zahteve preskusa. Ta standard se uporablja za načrtovanje in ustreznost komponent tekočih pogonskih goriv, podsistemov in sistemov, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti za njihov razvoj; velja tudi za elemente COTS, pridobljene za pogonski sistem. Iz preskusov, opisanih v tem standardu, je mogoče določiti učinke medsebojnih vplivov vesoljskih pogonskih materialov in tekočin na sestavne dele, podsisteme in sisteme. Na ta način je mogoče zagotoviti, da sestavni del, podsistem ali sistem izpolnjuje zahteve. Ta standard je omejen na preskuse sestavnih delov, podsistemov in sistemov. Rezultati presejalnih testov so določeni le v primerih, kjer so prisotni novi materiali, snovi ali pogoji, za katere še ni izkušenj ali podatkov. Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00.

EN 16603-35-10:2014 (E) 13 4 General requirements for compatibility tests 4.1 General 4.1.1 Compatibility test assessment a. The supplier shall analyse and define the conditions for the compatibility tests with respect to the application and the requirements for the component, sub-system or system and define them in conformance with the DRD in Annex A. 4.1.2 Test conditions a. Compatibility testing shall take place under conditions reproducing the actual use of the items. NOTE
For example: The test items treatments, processes and handling, to be the same as those for the actual flight hardware items.
b. The extent of compatibility testing shall comply with the reliability requirements for the component, subsystem or system. 4.1.3 Test duration a. The duration of the compatibility test shall be established using the compatibility life and mission reliability requirements
NOTE 1 The type of information to be obtained for the component, subsystem or system is e.g. a quick first impression or an impression based on an exposure under well controlled conditions with detailed and precise measurements. NOTE 2 For short compatibility lives (e.g. as for launchers), the duration of compatibility tests can be the same as the compatibility life or somewhat larger. For large compatibility lives (e.g. satellites in orbit) accelerated compatibility tests can be used. SIST EN 16603-35-10:2014



EN 16603-35-10:2014 (E) 14 4.1.4 Criticality a. In Phase A and in Phase B the following shall be performed: 1. establish which compatibility problems are expected, or where there is a lack of information; 2. ranking of the severity of the compatibility problems; 3. assess and report the criticality and the effect on material selection and planning in conformance with Annex A. NOTE
The severity of the compatibility issue can lead to intensive investigations (new materials, development risks), which can endanger the development schedule. 4.1.5 Phasing of tests a. The compatibility tests of clauses 4.2 and 5.1.2 shall be performed early during project Phase B. NOTE
This requirement is included in order that a proper material selection can be made, and that a proper data base can be established for the PDR. The priority and the planning of the tests is based on their duration or on those combinations of materials where the compatibility problems have been ranked severe. 4.2 Compatibility tests 4.2.1 Requirement for compatibility testing a. Compatibility testing of material combinations in propulsion systems shall be done in case there is no experimental or historical evidence that the combination meets the compatibility requirements. NOTE
This includes simulation and cleaning fluids, purging gases and cleaning and drying processes. b. The need for compatibility testing shall be assessed and included in
Annex A. 4.2.2 Compatibility testing of surface treated samples a. Samples of surface treated materials for propulsion systems, where there is no evidence that they meet the compatibility life, shall undergo compatibility testing. SIST EN 16603-35-10:2014



EN 16603-35-10:2014 (E) 15 b. ‘Untreated’ parts of the samples shall be insulated or protected in such a way that they do not disturb the measurements or cause false information. NOTE
Surface treatment of materials is done for various reasons, amongst which improving the material compatibility characteristics. Typical surface treatments encompass passivation / chemical etching, anodising, polishing, coating such as: painting, plating, vacuum spraying / vacuum deposition, electro-deposition, organic coating, or changing surface properties by chemical adsorption (e.g. nitration, carbonization). 4.2.3 Provision COTS components 4.2.3.1 General a. It shall be demonstrated that COTS components meet the compatibility life requirement.
NOTE
For cost or time reasons COTS components can be selected for propulsion systems. If there is no certainty that all components of the COTS components meet the compatibility requirements, solutions are sought (e.g. redesign, surface treatment, replacement, requalification). 4.2.3.2 Surface treatment of COTS components a. If a component has undergone a surface treatment to meet the compatibility requirements, this component shall undergo compatibility testing in conformance with clauses 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. b. Modified COTS components shall undergo re-qualification and full functional testing to ensure its functionality according to clause 6.10. 4.2.4 Compatibility testing logic a. For completely unknown material combinations that involve energetic materials or materials for which the possibility exists of generating toxic or poisonous materials, safety tests shall be performed before starting compatibility testing, see clause 6.1.2. b. Compatibility testing should take place following the logic of Figure 4-1 NOTE 1 This guarantees that they are performed with increasing complexity, generation of details, and for the specific applications. NOTE 2 The requirements list needs to be tailored. It
depends on the specific application which tests are going to be performed and which by-SIST EN 16603-35-10:2014
