Viperdoc - 16 Sep 2008 12:50 GMT I count around six posts in a row about aviation, with almost all of the responses actually related to the topic.
Common factor- no Anthony Atkielski. When asked a logical question, Bertie gives reasonable and factual answers based upon knowledge and experience. This was never the case with MX, since he has neither.
Let's keep it up!
BTW- if air would work equally well as nitrogen, why not use it in struts as well as tires?

Ah, so now you're a Bertie supporter too.

When you morons constantly complain about the quality of this group, and then turn around a stroke Bertie, you deserve whatever you get. Bertie is no one's friend, his is a wanna be troll, period. Post after post, he laughs at you idiots and brags he is only here for his own entertainment, but you dumb a.ses just don't get it. One or two on topic posts, and you forget everything.
Enjoy your pet.

Why, I dunno. I was an F-4 crew chief at RAF Lakenheath. TOs specified nitrogen or dry air for tires and struts, as I recall. Nitrogen was used for struts to better inhibit corrosion. Air was used for tires because oxidation wasn't a problem for tires. The tires would be changed due to cuts from all the flint around the taxiways long before oxidation became a problem.

It is my understanding that nitrogen does not expand and contract as much as dry shop air making it more suitable for use where a constant pressure over a wide temperature range is desired.
 Signature *H. Allen Smith* WACO - We are all here, because we are not all there.
Viperdoc - 17 Sep 2008 03:10 GMT But air is 78% nitrogen, and even though it's not an ideal gas, the remaining volume of oxygen should pretty be linear with temperature, and certainly not a whole lot different from nitrogen. (Anthony, don't even bother trying to engage in this one). Sorry, but I just don't buy the thermal expansion explanation.
The closest one may have to do with oxidation at higher partial pressures of oxygen, which may be faster for certain organic compounds like rubber. This would only apply to the tube, and not the tire, since all of the nitrogen is theoretically contained within the tube only.
I do not believe that for a given amount of water the vapor pressure would be any higher in air versus nitrogen either (given an equal volume and pressure of nitrogen and air, I do not think either would contain a substantially higher amount of water, even if saturated.)
Don't they fill farm tractor tires with some high density salt compound or something non-ionic like urea just to add weight? Do their wheels corrode faster if filled with salt solutions?
Morgans - 17 Sep 2008 03:27 GMT > Don't they fill farm tractor tires with some high density salt compound or > something non-ionic like urea just to add weight? Yes, and they are tube tires.
> Do their wheels corrode faster if filled with salt solutions? If the tube leaks, yes, they will rust out the rim more quickly.
I believe I have heard of a non salt liquid now available. I recall hearing that it is much more expensive, and not used as much.
I'll ask my active farming friends tomorrow, if I can remember to.

Morgans - 17 Sep 2008 07:11 GMT I can tell you now. Water. Plain unadulterated H2O. Why would you want Urea in the tyre tubes and not on the pasture ?????
I can tell you for a FACT that water is not the only thing used.
In areas where the land is rather... Uh, not level - <g> - it is very important to keep the tractor right-side-up. That is not always easy, and still go where you need to go.
The fluid in the tires is put in around 1/3 to 1/2 full. That keeps the center of gravity lower, and the more weight you can get below the axles, the better off you will be.
Urea may not be the answer, but I know there is some fluid that is substantially heavier than water that is commonly used, at least in my neck of the woods.
