PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS OF PROJECTILES

Abstract

Standard techniques for the measurement of projectiles are described in detail. Such measurements include: dimensions, weight, center of gravity, moments of inertia, static and dynamic unbalance, yaw-major axis relation. The techniques described give the accuracy required for routine measurements. In a few cases, more accurate methods are given for use with experimental projectiles.
