A Method of Direct Monitoring of the Suitability of an Assembled Extended Cylindrical Projectile Body

Abstract

A method is proposed for monitoring the suitability of a modular extended cylindrical shell of a rocket projectile. The method is based on direct measurement of the amount of entry during the shell installation process by outer bourrelets into the roller prisms, wherein the line of operation of the measuring device is perpendicular to the sides of the prisms. The proposed method of monitoring is compared with the traditional method, in which the radial runout of the middle bourrelet is measured also when the shell is installed by the outer bourrelets into the roller prisms. It was established that the new monitoring method is more effective in view of its greater objectivity and lesser labor intensity.
