Current Techniques for Thrust Measurement at PERME Westcott.

Abstract

Techniques are described for the measurement of axial thrust and thrust alignment of rocket motors. The dynamic response of systems is also considered and methods of evaluating errors derived. A ballistic technique for recording total impulse and thrust/time curves of motors with very short burning times is included. (Author)
