THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXPLOSIVE DRIVEN, SHUTTER TYPE, HIGH PRESSURE RELEASE

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of using a shutter-type pressure release for a 1-1/2-inch shock tunnel. This device was operated by an explosive driver producing opening times in the order of 500 microseconds. The shutter mechanism was tested up to 500 psi differential pressure.
