[SS-Propellant] Re: [SS-Main] Propellant issues

[Bert Kimpe]

Hi list (s),

for the propellant tests  I might be able to help.

I have acces to a climatic chamber. I other words a special type of oven,
where temperature and relative humidity (RH) can be set anywhere between 0
and 90°C and 0-100% of RH.
This can provide an accurate way to test the hygrosopic nature of the
propellant.

I can also perform bending, compression, tensile and adhesion tests.

Bert
