Determination of chemical stability of propellants using the vacuum stability test method

Abstract

This paper includes the results of the examination of the single base propellants, double base propellants and double base rocket propellants with the Czech Vacuum Stability Test STABIL. For this method the main term was to analyze and define the best options for preparation of the samples, selection of the optimal mass of the samples and conditions of examination. Chemical stability of these samples was determined according to the STANAG 4556 standard method.
