Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality control inspection of Pershing II (P-II) solid-propellant rocket motors was historically the responsibility of the manufacturer. Now the U.S. Army Pueblo Depot Activity (PDA) has been assigned the task of nondestructive evaluation and inspection (NDE/NDI) of P-II motors returned from the field. The purpose of this study was to make recommendations for upgrading PDA's inspection capabilities. Its procedures and facilities were reviewed, as were the inspection requirements of field-returned P-II motors. Advanced techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and real-time radiography (RTR) were evaluated, and experimental ultrasound and thermography techniques were reviewed. The study recommended modification of existing inspection procedures and installation of an advanced RTR system, including a modification of motor-handling equipment. The existing betatron appeared to be a suitable X-ray source. Also recommended were a borescope, to inspect aspects of the solid fuel, and a thickness gage. CT was rejected because it cost more than RTR without increasing inspection capabilities and would require extensive modification or replacement of existing facilities. Although potentially useful, advanced ultrasound methods are still at the experimental stage and could not be recommended. However, an advanced thermography system was found to be immediately applicable for detecting subsurface anomalies. Keywords: Nondestructive testing, Pershing II rocket motors, Rocket engines, Inspection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nondestructive tests applied to Scout rocket motors were reviewed and appraised. Analytical techniques were developed to evaluate the capabilities of the radiographic and ultrasonic procedures used. Major problem areas found were the inadequacy of high voltage radiography for detecting unbonds and propellant cracks having narrow widths, the inability to relate the ultrasonic signals received from flat-bottomed holes in standards to those received from real defects and in the general area of the specification of acceptance criteria and how these were to be met. To counter the deficiencies noted, analyses were conducted to the potential utility of radiometric, acoustic, holographic and thermographic techniques for motor and nozzle bond inspection, a new approach to qualifying magnetic particle inspection and the application of acoustic emission analysis to the evaluation of proof and leak test data.
