System for measuring the time course of pressure on the mouth of the gun

The system is designed for measuring the pressure progress in the barrel of a firearm and for simultaneously detecting the firing flash. The system is designed to allow pressure measurement at 2 channels, too.
The system consists of Kistler pressure transducers, Kistler amplifiers, a Keithley 3110 measuring card inserted in a portable industrial computer, and a control program.

The program is prepared in the TestPoint development environment to respect specific customer requirements. In addition to measuring and storing data, the program also allows for

• calculate characteristic time values from the course
• display several waveforms for visual comparison
• calculate maximum pressures
• assist in finding the moment of leaving the barrel
• generate a protocol.
