The Design of a Close Vessel (No. 21) for Routine Examination of Propellants for Guns

Abstract

A short note on the type of propellant information obtainable from the Closed Vessel technique is followed by a survey of the various vessel design used in the A.R.E. since about 1895. The various factors taken into consideration in the design of a vessel (No.21) for routine examination of ordnance propellants, and various modifications which operating experience showed to be desirable, are dealt with next, followed by an account of the method employed for measuring the chamber volume. In general, this design of vessel has been found to be satisfactory for the required purpose, and no further modifications are anticipated at the present time.
