METHOD 101.6A MOISTURE

(GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY METHOD)

1.  SCOPE

1.1  This method may be used for the determination of moisture in single or double base powder.

1.2  The moisture is extracted from the propellant with methanol, injected into a column, and then the moisture peak is compared with a standard.

2.  SPECIMEN

2.1  The sample shall consist of 3.0 grams of propellant.

3.  APPARATUS

3.1  Hewlett Packard 3752 with Dual Thermal Conductivity detector or its equivalent interfaced to a PEP-II computer (or other means of peak measurement).

3.2  10mL syringe.

3.3  Magnetic stirrer and stirring bar.

3.4  60 mL bottle and stopper.

3.5  100 mL volumetric flask.

3.6  Calibration loop.

4.  REAGENTS AND STANDARDS

4.1  Methanol - Anhydrous

4.2  Distilled Water

(THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ONLY.  THE REQUIREMENT IS IN 5.11.1.)
