METHOD OF TESTING MUNITION BODY FOR CRUSHING ABILITY Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F42B35/00 

FIELD: weapon and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: method involves filling the munition chamber with an incompressible fluid, placing the energy source in it, releasing energy from the source, and then fixing the results through video recording. As an energy source, an electric explosion of a conductive material is used, initiating a plasma-chemical reaction between the decomposition products of conductive material and liquid during the explosion. As a conducting material, metals that are located in the series of chemical activity to the left of hydrogen, their alloys or mechanical assemblies can be used, and as working fluid solutions of strong acids or their salts, for example sulfuric, nitric. For an electric explosion in a liquid, a set of ring conductors sequentially arranged in munition chamber is used, arranged in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the chamber, and exploded alternately in a given sequence with a time interval corresponding to the required explosive loading speed. In a set, conductors with different diameters or cross-sectional shapes can be used. Ring conductors can also be made in the form of a set of several turns of a cylindrical, conical or other spring, the contour of which corresponds to the configuration of the inner surface of munition chamber.

EFFECT: reliability of the results obtained, reduction of danger level in the implementation of the method.
