Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division 1 article published in JoVE Engineering Laboratory Scale Slow Cook-Off Testing of Rocket Propellants: The Combustion Rate Analysis of a Slowly Heated Propellant (CRASH-P) Test Jonathan Essel1, Andrew Nelson1, Christopher Gray1, Scott Sumner1, Nathan Holl1 1Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division We present a protocol for a laboratory-scale slow cook-off test for solid rocket propellants called the Combustion Rate Analysis of a Slowly Heated Propellant (CRASH-P) test. Confined rocket propellants are slowly heated until autoignition, and both the cook-off temperature and the violence of reaction are measured with dynamic pressure sensors.
