Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

NB:

SEE ALSO 9A108.

  1. a..

    Insulation and propellant bonding systems, using liners to provide a F2“strong mechanical bond” or a barrier to chemical migration between the solid propellant and case insulation material;

    F3...

  2. b..

    Filament-wound "composite" motor cases exceeding 0,61 m in diameter or having ‘structural efficiency ratios (PV/W)’ exceeding 25 km;

    Technical Note:

    F4For the purposes of 9A008.b., ‘structural efficiency ratio (PV/W)’ is the burst pressure (P) multiplied by the vessel volume (V) divided by the total pressure vessel weight (W).

  3. c..

    Nozzles with thrust levels exceeding 45 kN or nozzle throat erosion rates of less than 0,075 mm/s;

  4. d..

    Movable nozzle or secondary fluid injection thrust vector control systems, capable of any of the following:

    1. 1..

      Omni-axial movement exceeding ± 5°;

    2. 2..

      Angular vector rotations of 20°/s or more; or

    3. 3..

      Angular vector accelerations of 40°/s2 or more.
