reliability. Details of most of these are available to the reader of
the project reports (q.v.1 .6 Important conclusions are that the tests,
as described, reliably detect detonation and, equally reliably, nondetonation..
Low velocity detonations are probably included in the
latter. The results have been proven to be independent of either
temperature or pressure. For example, incidental tests demonstrated
that MDF detonates with a velocity invariant with temperature.
In summary, the authors present the procedure described in this
, report with confidence that, if used as described, it will serve as
a useful. worthy supplement to the Liquid Propellant Test Method No. 1.
