25、see 3.1). Each lot of propellant shall be sampled and tested for composition, form, dimensions and chemical- physical properties in accordance with MIL-STD-652. 4.2.2.2 Proving Ground (see 3.2). Each lot of propellant shall be sampled for proving ground tests in accordance with MIL-STD-652. 4.2.2.2.

26、1 Assessment (see 3.2.1) Informational. The lot shall be referred if the assessed charge weight of propellant has an expected pressure greater than 47,500 psi (see 6.8) If the product of the factor (see 6.4) times the velocity standard deviation of the rounds tested in accordance with 4.3.3 exceeds

27、the applicable requirement the lot shall be referred (see 6.8). 4.2.2.2.3 Individual pressure (see 3.2.3) Informational. If any individual pressure observed during uniformity firings at any operating temperature (-5OOF to 145OF) after correction for difference between as fired and recommended servic

28、e charge weight exceeds 58,500 psi, the lot shall be referred (see 6.8). 4.2.2.3 Straightness (see 3.3).

Three or more groups of rounds loaded with selected charge weights of propellant (weights selected should bracket expected service charge weight) shall be conditioned and fired at 70F. From the data ob

32、tained, a charge weight shall be calculated which will yield the prescribed service velocity. This calculated charge weight shall then be loaded into rounds for the uniformity series (see 4.3.3). The difference between the corrected velocity obtained during the uniformity series and the service velo

33、city shall be compensated for by a final adjustment in charge weight using the slope of the velocity charge weight curve previously 4.3.2.2 Constant Slope Method. After ten (10) lots of a given production series have been fired to provide a good knowledge of the propellant characteristics, the charg

34、e slope method of assessment may be discontinued and the charge weight determined by the constant slope method. A composite velocity versus charge weight versus pressure curve can be established from test results generated. This curve can then be used as in 4.3.2.1 above to calculate the charge weig

35、ht needed to achieve service velocity. This calculated charge weight is then to be loaded into rounds for the uniformity series and final adjustment is to be made as indicated above for the charge slope method. 4.3.3 Uniformity series 4.3.3.1 145OF. Thirty rounds using Stick Propellant Charges shall

36、 be assembled with the assessed charge of propellant, conditioned to 145OF (as indicated by a thermocoupled control round (rnd) and fired alternately with calibration rounds. The velocity and pressure means as well as the standard deviations associated with these parameters shall be calculated. All

37、results shall be corrected to recommended charge weight conditions (i.e. difference between as fired charge weight and recommended charge weight ) . 4.3.3.2 TOOF. Thirty rounds using Stick Propellant Charges shall be assembled with the assessed charge of propellant, conditioned to 70F (as indicated

Thirty rounds using

40、Stick Propellant Charges shall be assembled with the assessed charge of propellant, conditioned to -50F (as indicated by a thermocoupled control rnd) and fired alternately wi-th calibration rounds. The velocity and pressure means as well as the standard deviations associated with these parameters sh

41、all be calculated. All results shall be corrected to recommended charge weight conditions (i.e. difference between as fired charge weight and recommended charge weight). 4.3.3.4 Pressure/Time Evaluation (for information only).Ten Stick Propellant Charges each shall be fired at -50F, t7O0F and t145OF

42、 for pressure versus time evaluation in an instrumented XM198 Cannon where Piezo pressure versus time and ignition delay is recorded in the breech spindle and at a point 45.5 inch RFT (tapped in cannon tube). Muzzle velocity and pressures shall also be recorded. that test conditions have detrimental
