Until the mid 1960's the only method commonly used for measuring chamber pressures was the copper crusher. Basically, a hole is drilled in the chamber of a firearm and a crusher chamber is attached to that hole. In this crusher chamber is placed a very precisely manufactured piece of copper. ... Strain gauge results are reasonably accurate but ...

The copper crusher is a mechanical procedure in which a test . barrel is modified to contain a small piston installed over a . ... Twelve (12) gauge . is the most common, followed by 20 gauge, 16 gauge, .410, 10 gauge, and 28 gauge. Note that .410 is technically not a gauge size. All shot shells are centerfire cartridges. 11.

An external stress gauge is placed on the outside of the barrel. This is not a process I am familiar with, so I will hold off on going into the details on how it is performed. The Basic Equipment for Pressure Testing. ... There have been other means to test pressure, such as a copper crusher, or even lead crusher, but they are long retired ...

crusher gauge technique was the widely known and used method for gas peak pressure measurement. A copper or lead made cylinder is compressed by a steel piston placed in contact with combustion gases inside the barrel chamber. Under the effect of the gas chamber pressure, the crusher cylinder deforms plastically and records its maximum …

Abstract. In the field of interior ballistics, crusher gauges are still widely used for the gas peak pressure measurement within a fired ammunition. Under the effect …

Scope: This ITOP describes instrumentation and procedures for measuring peak chamber pressures within various weapon systems using NATO approved copper crusher …

A pressure-measuring device called the electronic crusher gauge is described. The volume of the gauge is small enough (38 cm/sup 3/) that it can be placed in the powder chamber of large- or medium-caliber guns, with chamber volume not less than 4 dm/sup 3/. The gauge is characterized by digital data recorded with a sampling frequency from 0.1 …

Recent testing of the M-11 Copper Crusher gage indicates that it does not meet the NATO standards for precision at the high end of its operating range. The Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL), of the Armament Research and Development Command (ARRADCOM), at the request of the Materiel Testing Directorate (MTD), of the Test and …
