Design Considerations for Gun Propellant Climatic Storage Chambers.

Abstract

The transfer of responsibility for gun propellant climatic storage and surveillance from MRL to WSRL required the design and construction of new climatic storage chambers. Various design options were considered; the most suitable used direct electric heating with comprehensive temperature monitoring and controlling circuitry and was constructed as a prototype. Experience gained in this exercise was used in the final design not installed and operating at WSRL.
