Study of M831A1 Obturator Band Assembly, Problems, and Solution.

Abstract

This report details the testing that was done to evaluate various methods to assemble obturators onto the M831A1. The obturators were assembled to the M831A1 using four different methods and subjected to various temperature humidity conditions.
