Production of 4 inch Diameter Tubes.

Abstract

Current and future charge requirements which will necessitate use of nitrocellulose tubes are the 8 inch M188 155MM, M203 155MM, XM211 and the 155MM M119 weapons. Of paramount interest in proposing spiral winding procedures for the production of igniter tubes is the promise of consistent quality in the fabricated items and cost effectiveness. The tube winding method proposed by Lory Industries for development utilizes nitrocellulose paper produced on commercial paper mill machinery. Therefore, the igniter tubes manufactured by commercial spiral winding techniques would be produced from a basic material with a promised uniformity and quality. Procedure for spiral winding is straightforward and requires no major modification of specified equipment.
