Capacitor Gauge for Gas Gun Experiments.

Abstract

This report describes the fabrication, calibration, and operation of a capacitor gauge that has been designed for use with the NSWC gas gun. The gauge was adapted from a Lawrence Livermore Laboratory capacitor gauge. A capacitor gauge measures the shock-induced motion of the free surface of a material specimen. The read time for the gauge is about 1 microsec when used with this gas gun. (Author)
