Characterization of the Sand on Selected Munition Test Sites at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida

Abstract

Test data was obtained by Environmental Characterization Working Group from two sand test sites to determine how selected environmental factors affect fuze functioning. The sand is described in terms of density, percentage moisture, and penetrometer readings, and each of these was evaluated to determine its variability. Regression analysis tests were performed to determine if a relationship existed between the variables. The variables were first paired by test site and were then combined to learn if one of the variables could be predicted by knowing another. Linear correlation of the variables was also evaluated. The data is based on a controlled environment and the results should not be applied to other environments.
