TECHNICAL PLAN ERB 1-95 PHASE V TEST PROGRAM

Abstract

A technical plan is presented for the ERB 1-95 Phase V test program. The ERB 1-95 Phase V program is intended (1) to develop a reliable liquid O boil-off valve configuration which will cause less vibration in the liquid O tank and associated propellant loading hardware, (2) to develop a more reliable and accurate propellant loading control system, such as differential pressure and other control systems, and loading control hardware, including the fuel liquid O tank instrumentation stillwells with loading sensors, and propellant loading control unit, and (3) to facilitate a more accurate determination of missile range by establishing the extent and effect, if any, of the missile tank movement caused by propellant loading, and by obtaining detailed information on the effect of fast loading rates on propellant characteristics. Two propellant loading tests will be made with the Convair D series propellant loading system at operational loading rates. A series of high rate liquid O tanking tests will be made.
