Abstract:

Differential thermal analysis DTA is described for the characterization of solid rocket propellants. Variables, such as sample size and heating rates, are discussed. A DTA apparatus is tested and recommended for routine characterizations of a wide variety of propellant materials. The need is apparent for the standardization of DTA apparatus. Author
