The Strand Burner System is designed to measure the linear burn rate of solid fuel propellant via the Crawford style pulsed time method. All systems are designed for maximum safety and accuracy and reflect the original intent of MIL-STD-286. Data channels include time, pressure, and temperature. The system is remote actuated and monitored, combining safety with efficiency of design. The system is comprised of a remote control console, located in an operator control room, and a temperature controlled test cell pressurized by a valve rack located in an adjacent room. All systems are custom tailored to customer specifications and can meet pressures up to 30ksi and higher. Specific pressure and temperature ranges vary depending on customer's requirements.


Remote Control Console with Computer Data Acquisition
The console controls and monitors the firing process in real-time. In conjunction
with the mounted controls, a computer is integrated into the system to allow for
process configuration and data acquisition recording.


Remote Valve Rack
The equipment that regulates the pressure throughout the system is mounted on the valve rack. It is operated via the Remote Control Console.


Temperature Bath
The bath houses the Test Cell Assembly. It regulates temperature which can be remotely controlled and recorded.


Test Cell
Head (available in single, double, or triple strand)
Single, double, and triple head configurations are offered. Multiple strand designs allow for simultaneous conditioning and firing of multi-samples which reduces the time to fire and minimizes nitrogen consumption.

Triple Test Cell Head



Single Test Cell Head (Clover Leaf Style)

STANDARD CRAWFORD BOMB SYSTEM
MIL-STD-286 Style integrating advanced instrumentation and remote data acquisition & control resulting in increased accuracy and safety. Break wire timing method is standard. A typical system is designed for 5,000 psi at -65 to +180 F. All systems are tailored to customer requirements.

HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS
These systems can be either gas or hydraulically pressurized and can test samples exceeding 30,000 psi.

ACOUSTIC EMISSION (Optional)
This option integrates an acoustic transducer amplification system which records a sound trace of the burning sample over time, from which a burn rate is calculated.
