SIDEWINDER Mk 17 MOD 5 motors were ignited in two tests in an instrumented, 15,300 cubic-foot missile magazine under conditions which would simulate accidental ignitions of this motor under shipboard service conditions. The results established a detailed temperature and pressure profile in the magazine, and the thermal characteristics of inert, instrumented ZUNI motors located in the magazine. Temperatures and pressures within the magazine reached peaks of 570 F and 5.1 psi, respectively, external and internal temperatures for the instrumented ZUNI motors peaked at 175 F and 100 F, respectively, which would not have caused cook-off had the motors been live. Environmental conditions in the magazine were not as severe as expected. (Author)
