Effects of Repeating Resistance Testing on Firing Ability of Igniter EP360-3

Abstract

This report summarizes work completed under U.S. Air Force Contract F3360193P7648 Item Number 02 completed 8 September 1993. The objective of this test was to determine if repeated resistance checks of an igniter will degrade the igniters ability to fire. An Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. EP 360-3 igniter (part number 31-32-026-0) was used for this test. A control group was tested for firing sensitivity. A second group had 10,001 resistance checks taken at 1 milliamp. The second group was then tested for firing sensitivity. No significant difference was found between the two groups.
