National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Impact Sensitivity of HAN(Hydroxylammonium Nitrate)-Based Liquid Propellants at Elevated Temperatures.

ADA194678

Publication Date	1988
Personal Author	Stobie, I. C.; Bensinger, B. D.; Knapton, J. D.
Page Count	14
Abstract	A Technoproducts drop weight tester was used to evaluate impact sensitivity of four liquid monopropellants; OTTO II, NOS 365, LP 1845 and LP 1846. The monopropellants were evaluated for impact sensitivity at ambient temperatures and at temperatures in excess of 50 C. The propellants were all relatively insensitive to impact compared to the calibration liquid n-propyl nitrate at ambient temperatures. The impact sensitivity increased slightly for the HAN-based monopropellants at temperatures up to 50 degrees. The impact sensitivity of OTTO II increased dramatically as a function of increased temperature.
