Progressive propellant charge with high charge density

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The resent invention relates to a method for producing propellant charges with progressive combustion characteristic and a higher charge density than previously considered possible to achieve intended in the first instance for , direct-firing barrel weapons such as tank cannons. Combined in the charge that is characteristic of the invention are at least two radially perforated propellant tubes (10-12, 28-30, 48-52) which are arranged in their entirety inside or after one another, which process at an e-dimension selected in , relation to the actual type of propellant and its desired combustion characteristic, combustion or ignition channels (2 19-21, 37), and which have , circular …
