Propagation and Fire Tests Conducted on a Secondary Steel Container Designed for Movement of Chemical Agent Artillery Projectiles
Abstract
A Secondary Steel Container (SSC) has been developed to hold two pallets of 8" projectiles or three pallets of 155mm projectiles for use in the movement of chemical agent munitions. To answer questions on the impact that the container might have on the maximum credible event from the detonation of one projectile in the pallets, propagation tests were conducted. Two fire cookoff tests were also conducted to evaluate the time that fire fighters would have to extinguish a fire involving SSCs in MILVANS subjected to a large fuel fire resulting from an accident.
