Development and Shock Tube Test Analysis of Piston Plate Airblast Valve

Abstract

An airblast valve utilizing the piston plate principle is conceptually designed for use in a blast hardened air entrainment system. Primary features of this valve are the elimination of the extensive delay path external to the valve housing, the elimination of the debris pit and auxiliary power to help close the valve, insensitivity to ground shock even if some distortion of the valve housing occurs, and several less significant features.
