IGNITION TEMPERATURES. I. STANDARD PYROTECHNIC MIXTURE AND COMPONENTS.

Abstract

A laboratory apparatus for the determination of the ignition temperatures of pyrotechnic mixtures that is based upon differential thermal analysis (DTA) has been designed, constructed, and tested. It has been evaluated by obtaining thermograms of a standard pyrotechnic mixture and each of its components. The temperatures for the crystalline transitions and melting points obtained from the DTA curves of the components of the pyrotechnic mixture were found to agree with the corresponding data reported in the literature. The apparatus has been shown to give reproducible results. An additional advantage is the small sample size required. (Author)
