|
| This Army Service Test Procedure describes test methods and techniques for determining weapons functioning and detecting weapons malfunctioning. It applies, in common, to the evaluation of different types of weapons but is intended primarily for evaluation of artillery caliber and automatic crew-served weapons. This particular test is one portion of the overall service test which ascertains the suitability of the test item for service use by the U. S. Army. ... |

Valmore F. DeVost; Luigi A. Vagnoni; Peter S. Hughes; NAVAL ORDNANCE LAB WHITE OAK MD
|
| Results of continuous setback shock and pressure measurements made in a shortened 5 in/54 gun are presented, and the test apparatus, hardwire instrumentation and data analysis equipment are described. Single and multiple copper-ball accelerometer measurements of setback and other shocks in several 5 in/54 guns are discussed, and two artillery projectile copper-ball accelerometers are described. Response spectra computed and extrapolated from the recorded shock transients show the effect of setback ... |

|
| Recognizing the need for a simpler and more exact computational procedure for locating the peak static overpressure isobars in the blast field of artillery, the authors have prepared a computer program written in FORTRAN, to accomplish this. The program requires interior ballistic data, cannon dimensions, and muzzle brake data. Polar coordinates (with the center of muzzle at zero degree quadrant elevation as a pole) are printed for each of nine ... |

|
| Based on data taken by the Canadian Government in December 1964 without the 51-ft muzzle extension, the effect of the 51-ft muzzle extension was to lower the peak sound and sound pressure levels as follows: (1) At a distance of 8000 ft, the average sound level was 120 db and the average sound pressure level .0029 psi. (2) At a distance of 6000 ft, the average sound level was 127 ... |
