PREPARATION OF POROUS NITROCELLULOSE FOR A TRAVELING CHARGE GUN

Abstract

A method is described for the preparation of porous nitrocellulose propellant with a densitygradient of 0.9 gm/cc at one end to 1.2 gm/cc at the other end. Hardware refinements are discussed for the loading and pressing of the nitrocellu lose. A table is included showing the variation of density with different compressional forces. A description is given of the assembling of the hardware and inhibiting the propellant.
