MIL-STD-398 Test of Prototype Explosive Containment Device (PECD)

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS) was tasked by Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant (LSAAP), Texarkana, TX to provide instrumentation testing services for MIL-STD-398, Military Standard, Shields, Operational for Ammunition Operation, Criteria for Design of and Tests for Acceptance. The Prototype Explosive Containment Device (PECD) was tested at location XX-17 LSAAP near the test barricade at XX-76. The PECD was instrumented with one blast pressure transducer and one thermal flux gage approximately 12 inches from the opening flange. A 25 percent overcharge of explosive was functioned in the PECD. Blast overpressure was recorded at 9 psi. No recordable thermal flux was observed.
