Measurement of Bore Erosion.

Abstract

In recent years changes in cannon ammunition have led to the occurence of a wear (erosion) maxima downbore from the origin of rifling. Conventional inspection equipment is not adequate to obtain the necessary data for the study and evaluation of this wear progression. New inspection equipment has been developed for the 105mm., M68 gun tube which will provide the necessary data for use in the study and evaluation of erosion and its effect on cannon tube serviceability.
