Susceptibility of the M52A3B1 Primer to Ignition from Static Electricity Generated by a Human Subject

Three lots of primers with resistances of 30,000, 300,000 and approximately 3,000,000 ohms were evaluated for sensitivity from circuits that were synthesized from measurements on small, medium and large human subjects dressed in cold-weather and Arctic army uniforms. Subjects were charged to a known...

Description
Summary:Three lots of primers with resistances of 30,000, 300,000 and approximately 3,000,000 ohms were evaluated for sensitivity from circuits that were synthesized from measurements on small, medium and large human subjects dressed in cold-weather and Arctic army uniforms. Subjects were charged to a known voltage and then discharged into simulators for each of the three primer lots. Errata sheet inserted.
