Four of the six lots of continuously precipitated PETN produced last quarter were formulated into LX-13 and evaluated for firing performance and extrudability. Detonability was improved. Three of the lots fired satisfactorily on the DV blocks; however, extrudability was reduced. Three batches of PETN were formulated this quarter to further examine LX-13 extrudability and detonability.
