Double Base Propellant Nitrocellulose DecompositionRobert Weinheimer
During qualification testing, the M-796 impulse cartridge had experienced inconsistent function
time and pressure rise time (psi/ms slope) failure mode. The failure occurred after exposure to
Temperature–Altitude test per the customer’s procurement specification tailored from MIL-STD-
810, Method 504.1.
Failure investigation identified decomposition of the Nitrocellulose/Nitroglycerine (NC/NG)
double base propellant which occurred during temperature cycling where the temperature was
held at +95°C (+203°F) for 16 hours.

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

2. LISTING BY BUILDING COMPONENT ACCEPTANCE REPORT (BCAR)
Manufactured building components are listed by Building Component Acceptance Report (BCAR). The
identification of fabricator, documents submitted for acceptance, description of building component,
applicable codes or standards, and limitation of acceptance are contained in the report. The report
number identified in the PFS Listing Directory is the BCAR Acceptance Number.
The presence of the PFS trademark as shown below is identification of a listed building component.
The promulgation of the BCAR is contingent upon the manufacturer entering into a contract with PFS for
follow-up quality control service and product listing. Under the Trademark License Agreement with PFS the
manufacturer of a building component submits documents to PFS for review and acceptance. Upon final
PFS acceptance, a BCAR is issued and the manufacturer is authorized to attach labels or other authorized
evidences of the PFS trademark to his building component which is found by him to be in compliance with
the PFS BCAR. Representatives of PFS perform periodic inspections and/or tests of the component at the
factory or from time to time elsewhere. Failure to comply with this Agreement may result in withdrawal of the
PFS trademark.
