A STUDY AND EVALUATION OF LIQUID-LEVEL AND LIQUID-VOLUME CONTROLS FOR SHELL-, ROCKET-, AND BOMB-FILLING MACHINES

Abstract

A preliminary analysis of the use of sonic or ultrasonic techniq es for the determination of munition-cavity volume is presented. Results of this analysis indicate that a device of t is type may be suitable as a check for volume measurements of both empty and filled munitions. Preliminary calculations pertaining to a 2600ml shell volume are included. A method of compensation for variations in the specific gravity of the liquid agent is proposed. This device would add or subtract weight to or from the balance arm by a chain attached to the counterweight outrider. Remote control would be provided for the chain- adjusting mechanism. Further improvements toward better Annin valve performance have also been made during February.
