abstract="Using the Naval Research Laboratory's mist flammability apparatus, several commercial samples of invert water-in-oil emulsions, designed for possible application as fire-resistant hydraulic fluids or lubricants, were screened for fire resistancy. Their stabilities under storage conditions for approximately a 2-year period were also assessed. For comparison purposes, two other commercial fire-resistant fluids were also screened, viz. a water-glycol solution and a phosphate ester. The Navy's current petroleum type hydraulic fluid, 2190-TEP, was employed as the reference fluid. In addition to fire resistancy tests, the drop size distributions of water microdroplets in the separated emulsion layers were also determined.<p />",
