New Control Instrumentation for Manufacture of Energetic Materials.
Abstract
Prototype process controls with fast detection, measurement, and feedback control capability have been developed by Picatinny Arsenal, Radford AAP, and selected contractors. These prototypes on-stream process analyzers will perform the function now being performed by various laboratory tests. The basic difference is in the method used for sampling, detection, measurement, and feedback. Sampling will be done on-stream wherever possible. Under these conditions, no sample retrieval is necessary. By utilizing the latest technological advances in physicochemical sensors and instrumentation, detection and measurement of the process control parameters can be accomplished in real time in most cases. Outputs from the detection and measuring instruments can be used to provide corrective action by means of automatic feedback. (Author)
