SERVICEABILITY AND FUNCTION TEST OF PRIMER DETONATOR, M14

Abstract

All lots of del y type Primer Detonators, M14, tested and manufactured by the Arkansas Ordnance Plant in 1945, exceeded specification limits and therefore are considered unserviceable. Eight lots also exceeded the failure rate limit. One lot also exceeded the failure rate limit. Three of the five lots of non-delay Primer Detonators, M14, manufactured by Picatinny Arsenal in 1953 and 1954 exceeded the specification limits and are considered unserviceable. Two of these three lots also exceeded the failure rate limits. One lot PA-26-40 was satisfactory in all respects. The fifth lot CPA-26-14 was satisfactory for the 15 samples tested, however, at least 30 detonators should have been tested before a definite conclusion is made.
