OPERATION MANUAL FOR CONFORMAL BALLISTICS PRESSURE SENSOR Series 117B Once the proper thickness spacer is found, removal INTRODUCTION and re-installation now becomes a routine matter. The Model 117B Conformal Sensor measures INSTALLATION pressure inside metallic cartridges and paper or plastic shotshell, during firing of the round, without drilled holes in the round.

OPERATION MANUAL FOR CONFORMAL BALLISTICS PRESSURE SENSOR Series 117B the curvature. In these latter cases, the Once the proper thickness is found for sensor forward side is identified with the perfect flushness, the sensor may be legend “FWD” etched on the guide collar to removed and reinstalled using this same which the slotted clamp is attached.
OPERATION MANUAL FOR CONFORMAL BALLISTICS PRESSURE SENSOR Series 117B LOW-END NONLINEARITY It will be noticed during calibration, especially with metallic cartridges, that a certain amount of pressure is necessary before linear output is attained from the conformal sensor. This is due to the fact that since the cartridge cases are made nominally smaller in diameter than the chamber to allow easy insertion and extraction, the case must be expanded slightly by the internal...
