If the product of the factor (see 6.3) times the velocity standard deviation of the rounds tested in accordance with 4.4.1.2 exceeds the applicable requirement the lot shall be rejected unless there is a outlier (see 6.10) in which case the

10、ce Test Procedure. 4.4.1.1 Charge Establishment 4.4.1.1.1 Charge Slope Method. 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 7OoF. From the data obtained a charge wei
11、ght shall be calculated which will yield the prescribed service velocity (see 3.2.1). This calculated charge weight shall then be loaded into rounds for the uniformity series (see 4.4.1.2). The difference between the corrected velocity obtained during the uniformity series and the service velocity s
12、hall be compensated for by a final adjustment in charge weight using khe slope of the velocity charge weight curve previously established. If the final adjustment in charge weight exceeds 2 percent of the weight used in uniformity firngs, the lot shall be retested for charge establishment (see 6.9 )
13、 . 4.4.1.1.2 Constant Slope Method. After ten (10) lots of a aiven production series have been fired to provide a good - knowledge of the propellant characteristics, the charge slope method of assessment may be discontinued and the charge weight determined by the constant slope method. A composite c
14、harge weight versus velocity and pressure curves can be established from test results generated. This curve can then be used as in 4*4.1.1.1 above to calculate the charge weight needed to achieve service velocity. This calculated charge weight is then to be loaded into rounds for the uniformity . se
15、ries and final adjustment is to be made as indicated above for the charge slope method, If the final charge weight adjustment exceeds 2 percent of the weight used in uniformity firings, the lot shall be retested for charge establishment in accordance with 4.4.1.1.1 (see 6.91, 4 Provided by IHSNot fo
