Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods are given for nondestructively inspecting rocket motor cases, nozzles, and motor-case insulation. The motor cases may be fabricated from steel, titanium, or glass-reinforced plastics and made by welding or wrapping processes. In some designs, the nozzle consists of tungsten inserts fitted in graphite heat-sink backup rings with a molybdenum sleeve shrunk over the graphite ring. The inside insulation is generally a rubber-base substance adhered to the motor case. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nondestructive testing is mandatory to assure the quality, reliability, and motor performance required by the solid propellant rocket motor industry. The motor performance desired demands minimum inert component weight and, therefore, precludes the luxury of wide material and design safety margins. Established techniques have been used where applicable, and new and advanced techniques have been evolved or modified for use. Extensive consideration and effort are being expended to develop automation and instrumentation for the readout and evaluation process so as to minimize subjective and qualitative interpretation of the test by providing objective and quantitative interpretation. Standards for evaluation of the test method used and th eitem produced are necessarily being upgraded. This correlation is found through direct measurement of specific properties, through experience based on past performance, or from destructive tests.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the development and operation of an acoustical imaging, nondestructive test system for the inspection of small rocket motors. This report is intended to document the accomplishments of the program, the theoretical background, and the operational characteristics of the inspection system. The major objective of this program was to develop an acoustical imaging, nondestructive testing system for small rocket motors (i.e., 13-20 cm diameter). This inspection system was to be capable of detecting two types of defects within these rocket motors: (1) internal defects of inner-bore cracks; and (2) separations or debond between the various layers making up the wall of the rocket motor. The system was shown to be capable of detecting all of the flaw types it was originally designed to detect: (1) case/liner debonds; (2) liner/propellant debonds; and (3) inner-bore cracks. Case/liner debonds are reliably detected using the chirp frequency debond test, and the other two flaws are evident using the low frequency transmission test.
