Testing

This formula has been tested many times. It was characterized first on a strand burner, then in 54mm tests, then in single grain 98mm tests, and most recently 4 grain 98mm tests.

The most recent test revealed a manufacturing error in the length of the phenolic liner. This resulted at a burnthrough near the forward closure.
