Tests of Solid Propellant Systems

Abstract

Since a solid propellant firing test is unique for each type of motor, firing facility and specific purpose of performing the test, considerations and procedures are intentionally made general to provide tests that are applicable to a variety of solid propellant motors. Specific details that apply to the static firing of a particular solid propellant motor are contained in the applicable specification, along with the physical characteristics and performance requirements of the motor. A general coverage of testing techniques, instrumentation and facilities, hazards, safety practices, and interpretation of data, are included in this Materiel Test Procedure. (Author)
