THE CHARACTERIZATION OF SOLID ROCKET PROPELLANTS BY DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYSIS,

Abstract

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) is described for the characterization of solid rocket propellants. Variables, such as sample size and heating rates, are discussed. A DTA apparatus is tested and recommended for routine characterizations of a wide variety of propellant materials. The need is apparent for the standardization of DTA apparatus. (Author)
