Porosity Measurement of Combustible Cartridge Case Materials
Abstract
Research to develop an accurate and reproducible density test for 60-mm and 81-mm mortar propellant increment containers (combustible cartridge cases) was not successful. However, application of modern industrial porosity measurement techniques may afford superior and more applicable data than density obtained by displacement methods. Relationship to burning rate and strength is discussed. Further work to institute porosity as a specification is suggested.
