SERVICEABILITY TEST OF ROCKET MOTORS, M16E3 FOR MACE (MGM-13A),
Abstract
A field activity reported that material was seeping out of the rocket motors used on the MACE (MGM-13A) Missile. Two motors, with the greatest seepage were selected for static firing to determine the affect of the condition on serviceability. The motors were 51 and 56 months old when fired. Prior to firing, they were X-rayed. No significant adverse conditions were found. The static firing tests wwere conducted at -30 and +160 F. Ballisti. data were within specification limits except for an ignition delay (under -30 F conditions only), which was slightly out of limits. The motors were considered serviceable. (Author)
