Surveillance of the Army's Propellant Stockpile: Analysis of Stabilizer Content by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

The Surveillance Team at ARDEC acts as technical advisor to the Single Stock Pile Manager for Propellants at Rock Island, IL. As the lead laboratory for propellant safe storage life issues, the Surveillance Team establishes the procedures to be used to determined the safe storage life of the Army's propellant assets. For some years this laboratory has used high performance liquid chromatography to monitor the level of stabilizer and its daughter products in propellant. Three of those methods are presented along with statistics and some comments about their application.
