FEASIBILITY STUDY OF PERCUSSION PRIMERS BETWEEN 400 F AND 600 F
Abstract
Experimental work was conducted on previously developed percussion primers to determine functioning characteristics in the temperature range of 400 to 600 F. Feasibility studies were also conducted with various priming mixtures and metallic components of the primers to determine practicability of a primer which would be stable after several hours in storage at temperatures up to 600 F. Two primers, designated No. 73 (G-11) and No. 73 (G-16), were tested while being held at the high storage temperatures and, also, ambient conditions after cooling from the storage temperature.
