INVESTIGATION OF ALUMINUM FOIL PRESSURE-SENSITIVE TAPES FOR SEALING AMMUNITION ITEMS,
Abstract
Four aluminum foil tapes were evaluated for an environmental seal on ammunition items. Three tapes met all of the requirements for sealing under 3 psi internal air pressure and satis factory adhesion after environmental condition ing in accordance with MIL-STD-354 and 355. All the tapes were compatible with tetryl, cyclotol, RDX, Composition B and PETN. Pressure exerted upon application of the tape was found to be a critical factor. It was concluded that a revised MIL-T-11291 Specification (Tape, Adhesive, Aluminum-Backed (For Use With Ammunition), 24 July 1951) could be used for procurem of the tapes.
