The term as used throughout, this specification, refers to an inspection lot, which is defined as an essentially homogeneous quantity of propellant from which the sample was drawn and shall not be construed to represent

16、any prior or subsequent quantities presented for inspection. A lot shall consist of one or more sub-lots or one or more batches of M6 propellant produced by one manufacturer, in accordance with the same specification and same specification revision, under one continuous set of operating conditions.

17、Each lot shall consist of that quantity of M6 propellant which has been subjected to the same unit chemical or physical process intended to make the final product homogeneous. 42.2 Testing 4.2.2.1 Materials (see 3.1). Each lot of propellant shall be sampled and tested for composition, form, dimensio

18、ns and chemical-physical properties in accordance with MIL-STD-652. 4.2.2.2 Proving ground (see 3.2). Each lot of propellant shall be sampled for proving ground tests in accordance with MIL-STD-652. 4 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-4

19、.2.2.2.1 Assessment (see 3.2.1). Major defect, Code No. 01001 (see 6.4). The lot shall be rejected if the assessed charge weight of propellant has an expected pressure greater than 39,000 psi. 4.2.2.2.2 Velocity uniformity. (TOOF) (See 3.2.2) Major defect, Code No. 0200l. If the product of the facto

20、r (see 6.5) times the velocity standard deviation of the rounds tested in accordance with 4.3.3 exceeds the applicable requirement the lot shall be rejected. For initial production lots a ten round sample shall be tested (see 6.6) 4.2.2.2.3 Individual pressure (see 3.2.3) 4.2.2.2.3.1 Initial product

If any individual pressure observed during uniformity firings at any operating temperature (-50F to ti45OF) after correction for difference between as fired and recommended service charge weight exceeds 47,000 psi, the lot shall be rejected.

22、 4.2.2.2.3.2 Subsequent production 70F. If any individual pressures observed during the 7OoF uniformity series when corrected to standard conditions and recommended charge weight exceeds 47,000 minus 75 times the pressure temperature coefficient established duringInitia1 Production Testing, the lot

23、shall be tested at t145OF in accordance with 4.3.3.1.1. 4.3 Test methods and procedures 4.3.1 Proving ground tests. These tests shall be conducted at a Government proving ground (designated by the contracting officer) in accordance with the applicable Proving Ground Acceptance Test Procedure. 4.3.2

24、Charge assessment 4.3.2.1 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 7O0F. From the data obtained, a charge weight shall be calculated which 5

25、 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MSL-F-48231 (MU) will yield the prescribed service velocity. charge weight shall then be loaded into rounds for the uniformity series (see 4.3.3). The difference between the corrected velocity obtained

26、 during the uniformity series and the service velocity shall be compensated for by a final adjustment in charge weight using the slope of the velocity- charge weight curve previously established. This calculated 4.3.2.2 Constant slope method. After ten(l0) lots of a given production series have been

27、 fired to provide a good knowledge of the propellant characteristics, the charge slope method of assessment may be discontinued and the charge wetght determined by the constant-slope method. A composite .velocity versus charge weight versus pressure curve can be established from test results generat

28、ed. This curve can then be used as in 4.3.2.1 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 series and final adjustment is to be made as indicated above for the charge slope method. 4.3.3 Uni

The velocity and pressure mean
