SUMMARY
Ball powder WC844 (double base propellant) was detonated in
configurations representative of shipping containers and simulated
in-plant process dryer beds. Blast output parameters were measuredand TNT equivalency was computed based on comparison with TNT hemi-
spherical surface bursts. The results of these tests are shown
below. To within experimented error, the pressure and impulse of
ball powder WC844 with an L/D ratio greater than 1:1 in charge
weights of 22.7 kg (50 ib) and 45.4 kg (100 lb) scaled with thecube root of the charge weight. TNT equivalency values for pres-sure and impulse were generally greater than 100% at all scaled
distances. Charge weights of 36.3 kg (80 lb) and 72.6 kg (160 lb),representing the dryer bed configuration scaled as a cube root
function of the charge weight. A notable difference existed in
pressure and impulse values due to the geometry of the dryer bed.Odd gage values for both pressure and impulse values ygre generally
less than 100% at the near field values < 7.14 mg1 and greater
than 100% at the far field values > 7.14 m/kg / 3. The even gage
line values were found to be generally greater than 100% at all
scaled distances with the exp tion of those values measured at a
scaled distance = 2.14 m/kg" 3 . TNT equivalency values for thedryer bed configuration were generally less than the values found
in the shipping container except at the far field values > 7.14m/kg 3 , where pressure and impulse values for the dryer bed con-
figuration were greater than those in the shipping container con-
figuration.

INTRODUCTION
Background
A pilot plant for manufacturing double base propellant in theform of ball powder has been set up at a GOCO plant. The informa-tion generated from the pilot plant operation will be used to sizethe various equipment, material balance, and structural and safe
operating procedures for modernization Project 5842879 and expan-sion project 5843128. Material produced will be ball powder WC844,WC846, and WC870. The basic composition is approximately 86%nitrocellulose (NC), 8.2% nitroglycerin (NG), and 5% dibutyl-phthalate.
The powder, as it is pumped through the process in a 3:1(water/powder) slurry, is shaped into spheroidal balls, passed over
screens for size classification, pumped in a slurry form to acentrifuge where the powder at 8 to 9% moisture is fed onto dryerbeds for drying, and then moved to packout for storage. The fin-ished material is a ball powder, sized from 0.41 to 0.66 mm (0.016to 0.026 in.) for NATO rounds. The powder is stored and shipped in22.7 and 45.4 kg (50 and 100 lb) quantities in fiber drums.
Safety engineering and cost effectiveness considerations re-quire knowledge of hazardous material characteristics as an inputto facility design requirements. In this instance, specific dataare required on the explosive output characteristics of ball powderWC844 in quantities and configurations representative of thosefound in processing, storage, and shipping facilities.
Objectives
One objective was to determine the maximum output from ballpowder WC844 in terms of the airblast overpressure and positive
impulse and to determine if the quantities tested scale as a func-
tion of the cube root of the charge weight.
Another objective was to compare the measured pressure andimpulse with known TNT test data to determine the equivalency ofball powder WC844 in relation to TNT.

EXPERIMENTAL METHODS
Materials
The test material was a double base propellant, ball powderWC844, for the 5.56 round, DAAA-25-70-C-0613, Army lot 46705, SmallLot 50 manufacture date C-5-71 by Olin Corporation, St. Marks,Florida. It was received in 45.4 kg (100 lb) quantities in cylind-rical cardboard shipping containers.
Test Plan
Airblast output was evaluated for masses and configuration ofball powder WC844, representative of standard shipping containersat two charge weights and dryer beds at two charge weights. Acylindrical fiberboard container was used as the 22.7 kg (50 lb)shipping container (A, fig. 1), and as the 45.4 kg (100 lb) ship-ping container (B, fig. 1). An orthorombic fixture was used for36.3 kg (80 Ib) and 72.6 kg (160 lb) dryer bed simulation (C, fig.). The fixture was constructed from 0.953 cm (3/8 in.) plywood
with dimensions of 2.22 m long by 0.53 m wide by 6.3 cm deep (7.83ft x 1.738 ft x 2.480 in.). The long side of the box was perpendi-cular with the even gage line.
A composition C4 conically shaped booster charge with alength-to-diameter ratio of 1:2 (L/D) was centered on top of eachtest charge. The weight of the booster charge was held constant at0.454 kg (I ib) for all tests. The booster was initiated with anengineers' special J2 blasting cap inserted in the apex and embed-ded to the center of the core.
The test charges in each configuration were placed on a 1010carbon steel witness plate, 1.27 cm (0.5 in.) thick with dimensionsof at least 5.08 cm (2 in.) greater than the size of the test con-tainer.
Instrumentation
Twelve side-on pressure transducers were mounted flush to thesurface in each of two sand filled 900 arrays, within the test areaj as shown in figure 2. Distances from the charge to the transducercorresponded to scaled distances from 1.19 to 15.87 m/kg1/ 3 (3 to

l~. K ~ -. -
40 ft/lb . Scaled distances were held constant throughout thetest series for all charge weights and configurations. The trans-ducers were individually calibrated prior to the beginning of eachtest series with pressure pulses from a standard solenoid actuatedair pressure calibration fixture, adjusted to correspond toexpected blast pressure based on an assumed TNT equivalency of100%. Signal line continuity and channelization were checked priorto each test, and electrical calibration of the recording system
was checked daily. Details of distances between charge and trans-ducers, calibration pressure, and expected peak blast pressure ateach distance are shown in table 1.
Photographic coverage was restricted to one test of each con-figuration (fig. 3). Motion picture coverage included a Mitchellcamera Model H516-E4 operating at 500 frames per second (fps) andone Mitchell camera (same model) operating at 24 fps. Before andafter color photographs were taken for each test, showing typicalsetup and results. Standard meteorological data were recorded foreach test.
RESULTS
Data Analysis
Peak blast overpressure and positive impulse information wereobtained in digital form. Inconsistent results that could beattributed to instrumentation or test material malfunction weredeleted from consideration at calculation. Additionally, the rawtest data were averaged and the standard deviation was calculated;all data that fell outside the one standard deviation from the meanwere also deleted from the TNT equivalency calculations. The datawere then compared to data from the standard TNT hemispherical(fig. 4). McKown (ref 1) describes the computer program which usesan iterative process that factors out the contribution of thebooster charge weight and calculates the pressure and impulseequivalencies. With the effect of the booster weight factored out,the calculated TNT equivalencies were tabulated and plotted asfunctions of :ample scaled distances.
Test Results
Data sheets for all tests with pertinent measured parametersare given in the appendix.

Mean pressure, scaled positive impulse, and time of arrivaldata are summarized by test configuration in tables 2 through 8 andfigures 5 through 10. Composite pressure and scaled impulse valuesfor the shipping containers are given in table 10 and 11. Thedryer bed combined charge weights are given as results for odd gageand even gage results in tables 8 and 9 and figure 12. Fireballdiameter and duration as measured from high speed motion picturesare given in table 11.
Figures 13 through 20 show typical pretest and posttest con-figurations for the charge weights tested.
Discussion
The plots of peak pressure and scaled positive impulse versusscaled distance for the shipping container configuration are shownin figures 5 and 6. They show that the pressure values are gen-erally greater than 100% at all scaled distances when compared tothe same charge weight of TNT at the same scaled distances. Scaledpositive impulse for the 22.7 kg (50 ib) charge weight is gqlrallygreat 3 than 100% at all scaled distances < 7.14 m/kj " (18ft/lb ) and less than 100% at 15.9 m/kgl/ 3 (40 ft/lb 3 ) whencompared to equal amounts of TNT. The same general trend was notedfor the 45.4 kg (100 lb 3shipping container except that at a scaleddistance of 3.57 m/kg 1 7 (9 ft/lb I 3) the scaled positive impulsevalue was slightly less than 100%. However, when the results ofthe 22.7 kg and 45.4 kg (50 and 100 lb) shipping container werecombined (fig. 11), scaled positive impulse was found to be greaterthan 100% at scaled distances < 7.14 m/kg / 3 ( ft/lb I / 3 ) M lessthan 100% at scaled distances >'than 7.14 m/kg'/3 (18 ft/lb ).
Results obtained in the dryer bed configuration showed asignificant difference from those values obtained in the shippingcontainer configuration and show the effect of geometry. Testresults for the 36.3 kg (80 ib) test are given in table 4 andfigure 7 for the odd gage line and table 5 and figure 8 for theeven gage line. Equivalency pressure for the odd gage line (shortside of dryer bed) was generally less than 100 percent at the nearfield scaled distance < 3.57 m/kg I/3 (9 ft/1bl/ 3). Scaled positiveimpulse followed the same general trend as the pressure, but therewas joignificant dip in impulse value at a scaled distance of 1.59
m/kg 1/ (4 ft/1bl/ 3).
Peak pressure for the even gage line (long side of dryer bed)for the 36.3 kg (80 lb) mass showed significantly differentresults. Generally, pressure values were greater than 100% at all

scaled/ distances with the exception found at 2.14 m/kgl/3 (5.4ft/lb 3) where it was less than 100%. Scaled positive impulsevalues we found to be less than 100% at the near field values <7.14 rn/kg r73 8ft/lb ))fid greater than 100% at scaled distances> 7.14 m/kg1' (18 ft/lb ). In this instance there was no pro-nounced dip in the impulse values at the close-in scaled distanceof 1.59 m/kg /3 (4 ft/lb 1 /7) as was detected from the short side ofthe dryer bed gage line.
Peak pressure and scaled positive impulse values obtained onthe dryer bed configuration for the 72.6 kg (160 lb) charge weightfollowed the same general pattern found for even and odd gage mea-surement. On the short side or end of the dryer bed, a noticeabledip in impulse value exists and was somewhat more pronounced forthe larger mass. The even gage line scaled 3ositive impulse valueswere greater than 100% at 1.19 and 1.59 m/kg (3 and 4 f/,bl/3),less than 100% at 2.14 and 3.57 m/kg" 3 (5.4 and 9 ft/lb/ ' andgreater than 100% at far field scaled distance > 7.14 m/kg (18ft/lb1/3).
The significance of the 36.3 and 72.6 kg charge tests in thedryer bed configuration was in the resulti of the odd sage line andthe dip in the impulse value of 1.59 m/kg"/ (4ft/lb' '). This dipis similar to those values reported by Kingery (ref 2) in thedevelopment of impulse curve for 500 and 1000 ton TNT equivalencytest. However,Mese values occurred at near field value of 0.79m/kg" 3 (2 ft/lb ). Another difference is noted in the L/D ratiofrom the long side of the dryer bed versus the short side. The L/Dratio for the shorL side was 0.06:1 for the 36.3 kg (80 lb) testsand 0.12:1 for 72.6 kg (160 Ib) tests whereas the L/D ratios were0.01 and 0.03 on the long side of the dryer bed configuration forthe 36.3 and 72.6 kg (80 and 160 lb) tests respectively, with thedifference being the height of the material.
To within experimental error of the instrumentation and var-iance in explosive material, scaling as a function of the cube rootof the charge weight occurred, pressure and impulse values did notnecessarily increase or decrease as a function of the chargeweight. There were some slight variances in values, but no sig-nificant increase or decrease was evident.
S
CONCLUSIONS
1. Peak positive overpressure TNT equivalency values of ballpowder WC844 in two types of shipping containers were found to begreater than 100% at all scaled distances tested when compared tothe standard TNT hemispherical reference.
2. Scaled positive impulse TNT equivalency values for the shippingcontainers were greater than 100% at the near field vaues < 7.14n/kg1 3 (18 ft/lb nd less than 100% at scaled distancesgreater than 7.14 m/kgl (18 ft/lbl/3).
3. TNT equivalency values of ball powder WC844 in the dryer bedconfiguration were dependent upon geometry since there were sig-
nificant differences in results between the long and short sides ofthe dryer bed.
4. Pressure equivalency in the dryer bed configuration was gen-erally greater than 100% at all scaled distances on the long sideof the dryer bed. Impulse values were greater than 100% at close-in scaled distances, below 100% at the mid-range scaled distances,and greater than 100% at the far field scaled distance.
5. Pressure and impulse equivalency for the short side (odl/iage)was g rally less than 100% at scaled distance < 7.14 m/kg (18ft/lbn /)lpd greater than 100% at scaled distance > 7.14 m/kg 1 / 3
(18 ft/lb1' ).
6. Within experimental limits of the instrumentation and explosivematerial, blast pressure and scaled positive impulse scaled as acube root function of charge weight when geometries were similar.
RECOMMENDATION
The TNT equivalency of pressure and impulse values determinedfrom this test series should be used in the structural design ofprotective facilities.
