EVALUATION OF PROPELLANT, M-6 LOTS BAJ-37536 AND BAJ-37537

Abstract

An evaluation of two lots of the M-6 propellant was made: (1) to determine if suspect propellants meet the general requirements indicated in Specification JAN-P-309 (except for ash content and hygroscopicity), (2) to determine the nature 6f the yellow coloration of the suspect grains, (3) to determine the cause of disformation of grains, and (4) to determine if the reported condition co-exists in complete rounds of ammunition items containing subject propellants (of similar vintage).
