Measurements of Percussion Cap Parameters

Abstract

Investigation results of percussion cap (KWM-3 as example) parameters such as initiation mean energy (130 mJ approx.), their standard deviation (30 mJ approx.) as well as delay time (450 s at an average), firing pin deepening (350 m at an average) and energy absorbed (< 150 mJ) up to the initiation moment were presented. The measurements were conducted with an aid of the facility and methods worked out in the AFIT (ITWL). The change of delay time, firing pin deepening and energy absorbed versus energy used for initiation were shown.
