Chemical Compatibility of Nonmetallic Materials Used in Small Arms Systems.

Abstract

This TOP provides procedures for evaluating the chemical compatibility of nonmetallis materials used in small arms systems (weapons/ammunition) by conditioning them in various chemical solutions. Physical properties of the material to be tested are measured before and after conditioning to determine the degradation attributable to the chemical solution. The chemicals used for the test are mainly used in military training, maintenance, and combat environments.
