Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7083484· OSTI ID:7083484

Pyrotechnic powders supplied by Al Heckes of Sandia Laboratories, Albuquerque, have been characterized using a semi-automatic microscopy technique (Zeiss Analysis) to measure particle size distribution and specific surface area by both gas adsorption (static BET apparatus) and permeametry (Fisher Sub Sieve Sizer). Photomicrographs, specific surface area and mean particle sizes are given.
