摘要

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS) was tasked by Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant (LSAAP), Texarkana, TX to provide instrumentation testing services for MIL-STD-398, Military Standard, Shields, Operational for Ammunition Operation, Criteria for Design of and Tests for Acceptance. The Prototype Explosive Containment Device (PECD) was tested at location XX-17 LSAAP near the test barricade at XX-76. The PECD was instrumented with one blast pressure transducer and one thermal flux gage approximately 12 inches from the opening flange. A 25 percent overcharge of explosive was functioned in the PECD. Blast overpressure was recorded at 9 psi. No recordable thermal flux was observed.
