The Use of Low Viscosity 70/30 Octol in Dragon Warheads M224.

Abstract

DRAGON warheads are loaded with 70/30 octol. The original production loading method required TNT to be added to 75/25 octol to dilute it to 70/30 proportions. When the octol viscosity exceeded 10.5 seconds, it was difficult to obtain acceptable cast warheads. Octol can be made initially with 70% HMX and 30% TNT in different viscosities. For this test, tow Octol batches with viscosities of 7.8 seconds and 4.5 seconds were used.
