EFFECT OF SAMPLE HOLDER GEOMETRY ON PRESSURE-TIME CURVES OF LEAD DIOXIDE-CUPRIC OXIDE-SILICON STARTER COMPOSITION: A NEW TEST FIXTURE DESIGN

Abstract

Difficulties in interpreting pressure-time curve data obtained on the present test fixture (Mk 25 Marine Location Marker Starter Composition) has led to the design of a new test fixture with a sample geometry which produces a linear plot. A comparison of results obtained on the two test fixtures is made. An optimum range of burning characteristics for the new test fixture is recommended. Also recommended is a basic starter composition formula with enough flexibility to compensate for performance variations due to variations in the reactivity of the chemical ingredients.
