Abstract:

The inspection for the deposition of cement is a critical operation in the manufacturing process of various munition items. This report delineates the results of investigations conducted to determine the feasibility of using electrical continuity techniques to inspect for the deposition of Pettman Cement on three thread areas of the 81mm mortar round. Further generalizations are made as to the inspection of other cements and lubricants, and also regarding the controlling of the dispensed volume.
