EN 13938-5:2004 (E) 4 Introduction The presence of excessively large or numerous
20、voids or fissures in solid rocket propellant can result in dangerously high pressures due to increased propellant burning surfaces. The maximum size and number of voids and fissures permitted in a solid rocket propellant to ensure safe functioning are therefore an essential part of the acceptance cr
21、iteria for the product. For small rocket motors this can be achieved by burning them in the way they are designed for and measuring the thrust continually. Significant voids and fissures can be recognized by a sudden increase of thrust. EN 13938-5:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies a method
22、for checking small rocket motors for voids and fissures and provides a guide to non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for detecting voids and fissures in other solid rocket propellants. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
23、For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

27、f one or more blocks, usually with a central hole, designed to burn in a controlled manner 4 NDT methods Voids and fissures in solid rocket propellant grains can be detected by various NDT methods normally used for the testing of metals and welds. The NDT method and technique selected will depend on
28、 many factors. Among them it may be useful to distinguish: - a) minimum size of voids and fissures to be detected; - b) type of propellant to be inspected; - c) type of inspection (continuous production line inspection or the individual inspection of samples); - d) number of units to be inspected. T
29、he main types of NDT methods used in the detection of voids and fissures are shown in Table 1.

32、, nozzle, and finish. 5.2 Apparatus The apparatus consists of the following parts (see Figure 1): 5.2.1 a V-shaped carrier made of steel onto which a steel tube is welded providing a mounting for the test piece. Additionally a steel plate is welded onto the top of the tube and to the carrier. The te
33、st piece is fixed in the tube by a fastening screw at the top part of the steel tube. The rear end of the tube is closed by a steel plate which is also welded to the carrier. The tube shall be fixed in a way that the thrust of the test piece operates precisely along the length of the carrier. The re
34、ar end of the carrier is closed by a steel plate and can be additionally fitted with a steel bolt or similar to transfer the thrust force onto the force transducer; 5.2.2 a V-shaped steel trough equipped with a force transducer at the rear end and with ball bearers built into the sidewalls to provid
35、e a virtual frictionless movement of the carrier. The trough is firmly mounted on a base made of steel or concrete; 5.2.3 a transient recorder or a x-t-plotter to record the signal of the force transducer during the test with a resolution of at least 2 ms; 5.2.4 an igniter as stipulated by the manuf
36、acturer of the small rocket motors. To avoid effects of inertia the force transducer is preloaded with a certain force, for example 10 N to 30 N. This can be accomplished in several ways, e.g. a spring, a weight, tilting the trough (see Figure 2 for an example). EN 13938-5:2004 (E) 8 Key 1 Trough 6

39、 steel plate. If the test piece is too short, i.e. the nozzle does not stick out of the tube for about 10 mm, insert a piece of metal of suitable thickness before the test piece. Fix the test piece by means of the fastening screw. Mount the igniter as prescribed by the manufacturer to give a reliabl
40、e ignition of the test piece. The recording of the force measurement is started and the igniter is triggered. The thrust (in N) is measured during the complete burning duration. Repeat the procedure for each of the remaining 19 test pieces. 5.4 Evaluation of test results 5.4.1 For each test piece de
41、termine from the recordings (see Figure 3 for an example) the maximum and the mean thrust (overall mean) between t 3and t 4 , the burning duration (t 5 t 1 ) and the total impulse (in N.s -1 ) by integrating the recorded thrust vs. time data from t 3to t 5 . Then calculate the mean impulse and the s
42、tandard deviation from the 20 results. 5.4.2 To determine whether significant voids and fissures are present, examine the recordings as follows: Divide the range from t 3to t 4into ten parts and calculate for each part the mean thrust (partial mean). Calculate the differences between the partial mea
43、ns and the overall mean determined in accordance with 5.4.1. If any of the differences is greater than 10 % of the overall mean record it.

46、ndard deviation; i) maximum and mean thrust for each test piece; j) number of test pieces with partial mean thrusts differing by more than 10% from the overall mean thrust, if any.
