The Closed Vessel Test and Determination of Ballistic Properties of Gun Propellants

Abstract

This manual details the methods by which closed vessel test data are used to calculate values of ballistic properties of gun propellants. The properties of interest are force, vivacity, quickness, predicted gun pressure and predicted charge weight. Details are also included on a homogeneity test which can be applied to the test data.
