ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING OF SQUIBS,

Abstract

The results of environmental testing of 135 piston actuator, dimple actuator, and match type squibs are presented. Tests conducted were: high and low temperature, drop, shock, vibration, altitude, no-fire, humidity, auto-ignition, and temperature shock. Two failures occurred during the program: the first was the breakage of a lead wire under vibration, and the second was the failure of a closure at firing. (Author)
