✦ Synopsis
A number of binary mixtures, components of which are propellant ingredients, were examined in steel walled tubes for their DDT behavior at 60-70% theoretical maximum density (TMD). Several commercial propellants and one 4-component, composite model were also examined. A number of compositional effects were noted and reported. Some propellants, at high porosity, showed reaction not detectable by our ionization probes. For propellants which exhibited transition at 70% TMD in our apparatus, the range in predetonation column length (/) was 103-170 mm and in relative time to detonation, 76--247 las.
