Abstract

Test equipment was designed and manufactured to evaluate thermal reaction characteristic of internal insulators of solid rocket motor. Test is allowed up to chamber pressure 2,500 psi, burn-time 100 s. A cross section of test sample part is quadrature, and various test samples can be comparable at the same time. Inner temperature of test sample can be measured by thermocouples during burning. Test was executed in condition of efficient average chamber pressure 1,000 psi, efficient burn-time 10 s and safety of equipment was confirmed. Basic data for understanding thermal characteristics of internal insulator, that is, pressure-time curve, temperature-time curve in the test sample, and thermal destruction thickness of test sample was gained successfully.

고체로켓추진기관 연소관 내열고무의 열반응 특성을 평가하기 위한 모사시험장치를 개발하였다. 시험장치는 연소실 압력 2,500 psi, 연소시간 100 s까지 시험할 수 있으며, 여러 시편을 동시에 상대 비교 할 수 있다. 시편 부는 사각 패널로 되어 있으며, 마주보는 두 면에서는 연소시간 동안 시편 내부의 온도 변화를 측정할 수 있다. 시험장치의 안전성을 확인하기 위하여 연소실 유효평균압력 1,000 psi, 유효연소시간 10 s 시험을 수행하였으며, 내열고무의 열특성 분석에 필요한 기본 데이터들, 즉 연소실의 압력-시간 선도, 재료 내부에서의 온도-시간 선도, 재료의 열파괴 두께를 획득하였다.
