Abstract

The propellant manufacturers select the dimensions of die-pin for extrusion of dough by trial and error method based on their experience. This paper presents a general equation applicable for any propellant composition processed by solvent process, in any shape, i.e., cord, monotubular or the multitubular. To illustrate the relationship, calculation for outer radius for a few typical single-base propellants is given.
