METHYL CELLULOSE AS A NITROGLYCERIN BARRIER FOR COMBUSTIBLE CARTRIDGE CASES,

Abstract

Sections from XM156 and XM157 felted nitrocellu lose combustible cartridge cases were stored at 122 F with M17 and T28E1 propellants, respec tively. The changes in (1) weight, (2) durometer hardness, and (3) thickness were determined after one, three, and twelve months. The data shows that a methyl cellulose coating 0.001 to 0.002 inches thick noticeably retards the migration of nitroglycerin from the propellants into the com bustible cartridge cases. (Author)
