## Abstract A tower‐type drop‐weight tester is used to characterize mechanical properties of LOVA gun propellants ata nominal strain rate of 300 s^−1^. This study is a comparative evaluation of two testing methods, namely the original and the newly introduced one, that differ in the initial experim

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Several single‐base, double‐base, and triple‐base gun propellants were analyzed by three different methods:
Conventional analytical methods (TL 1376–600)
High‐pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)
Derivative spectroscopy.
The results obtained by these methods agree well and show a good reproducibility. However, compared with each other, the chromatographic methods are not only more rapid and more flexible than the conventional wet chemical analysis, they enable a quantitative determination of blasting oil mixtures like nitroglycerin or diglycoldinitrate. The same holds for many other explosives, stabilizers and stabilizer reaction products.
