Environmental Seal
Schutzmembran; diaphragme de protection
Diaphragm having very low moisture vapor transmission rate, used
over generator outlets to provide a hermetic seal.
Eprouvette
This is an instrument to determine the performance of W Black Powders.
It is a small mortar, positioned vertically upwards; a known
amount (10 g) of the black powder sample is charged and set off with
the aid of a fuse passing through a priming hole; the mortar is closed
with a projectile guided upwards by two steel rods; the projectile gains
its maximum height and is then locked. The height of the locked
projectile is determined; it is a measure of the performance of the
black powder sample.

The internal ballistic pressure resulting from an explosion of a powder
propellant can reach up to 600 MPa and a temperature of up to
4000 K. Under such conditions of extreme pressure and temperature,
