In-Bore Propellant Media Density Measurements by Characteristic X-Ray Radiography.
Abstract
The experiments described demonstrate that characteristic x-ray radiography can provide quantitative density measurements on time scales of ballistic interest. The CXR method provides results that are relatively easy to analyze and are independent of the details of the chemistry or phase of the propellant. It appears that characteristic x-ray radiography will be usable both in continued ballistics applications for flow and combustion characterization and in a variety of other applications requiring rapid, non-invasive measurement.
