Eleven gap test series were conducted with TATB powder and RX-03-BB. Tests on RX-03-BB Blends 8 and 9 revealed nothing unusual. Five series conducted with Teledyne-produced powders again indicated a wide range of sensitivities for TATB from that source. Tests on other powders suspected of possessing abnormal sensitiviy revealed no notable shifts. The temperature controlled wedge tests on RX-03-BB were completed. Final results for the hot (68/sup 0/C) tests are presented and results for all RX-03-BB tests are plotted for comparison.
