METHOD FOR TESTING OF AMMUNITION FOR AIR SHOCK AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F42B35/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: ammunition is exploded in an exploding chamber with a slot, width and length of which makes it possible to separate a part of the ammunition fragment cloud, which flies in direction determined by a dihedral angle Δθ, a set of test ammunition is serially exploded with full coverage by a destruction field of the inlet wall of the typical section, serially increasing density of the destruction field of test ammunition, full damage of the section is achieved by an air shock, side walls of the typical section are equipped with n sensors connected to n devices for measurement of pressure and pulse of an impact wave, the value of critical average maximum pressure of an air shock occurring in the section after piercing of the inlet section wall with damaging elements of test ammunition is measured for a case of total damage of the typical section, the critical energy of the air shock in the section is calculated, the specific critical energy of damaging elements flow is calculated for the typical section, and the value of the critical air shock index for the typical section is calculated. The device is an exploding chamber comprising a slot, a typical section with replaceable walls, n sensors installed in side alls of the section and n meters of impact wave pressure and pulse.

EFFECT: improved reliability of tests.
