Ballistic Tests of STS Armor Plate, Using 37-mm Projectiles

Abstract

Data are reported concerning the ballistic limit of STS armor - Brinell hardness 270 - for 37-mm projectiles (M51 without cap and windshield). Armor plates of thicknesses from 1/2 to 2 in. were used. Auxiliary tests with smaller caliber projectiles are also included; these tests were made on plates down to 1/4 in. thick.
