PREDICTING THERMAL HAZARDS IN PROPELLANTS UTILIZING COOK-OFF TECHNIQUES

Abstract

From experimental data obtained with standard ized cook-off ovens, the relationship between log time-to-deflagration and the reciprocal of the absolute temperature was established as a straight line. The experimental cook-off technique was applied to the complex configuration of the ASROC grain, and the characteristic cook off curve established. An application in stabilizer studies is presented, and cook-off data are given for various propellants.
