DU containment fixture high speed door test report
The high speed door is an assembly used with the DU Containment Fixture, to contain explosive by-products during testing at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Testing of the high speed door at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) was performed to verify closure times which comply with the design requirements. The tests were also designed to prove the structural integrity of the high speed door assembly, as well as its operational reliability. The success criteria for this testing was to perform ten consecutive closure tests which meet the closure time requirement, without permanently damaging the high speed door. The closure time requirement is 56 msec, as specified in the DU Containment Fixture Final Design Report, engineering design file 8.7. The high speed door assembly used in the tests is the actual assembly which will be delivered to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds as part of the AATCF project. 14 figs., 5 tabs.
