burn rate of BP propellant

shockwaveriderz · 2003-10-16T20:21:40+00:00

anybody know in general what the burn rate is for typicial Estes type BPpropellant? and then compare this burn rate to say APCP burn rate? in mm/secplease if possibleDoes the density of the proepllant mixture play a role in the propellantburn rate? For example, I assume that Estes BP is pressed into their casingat a known pressure? and this produces a propellant slug that has a more orless uniform density? I also assume they are pressed wet....and thendryed/cured by letting the water in them evaoporate off? I hope this makessense...shockie B)
