SYNOPSIS
1. This report is a compilation of strain gage records and their measurements, together with firing information sueh as propellant, projectile,, gun wear, velocity, pressure and special conditions of test. It is the, f irrst of a series of reports,, which» when completed will contain a relatively complete collection of barrel strain records taken at the Naval Proving Ground,
2i Jt is not intended in this report to determine the- effects of test variables oh barrel strain, but rather to provide a eon*» venlent source of background information to assist ih studies inv«?lv,ing: 6trains In g.uft barrels«

r" -a-» Curing the past several years, strain measurements have \> bs^n $4:4©,- at the Naval Proving Ground in conjunction with various ^1 fissiflg; tests* In general, the results were included in the reports _~. o.i these tests and not reported individually as strain gage tests. r -As -a- *esuit, there are on hand a great number of records which, if I:- §8:S'e«ible.d and correlated with the test information, yould aid in ,,: future studies involving barrel strains* i .
jh b.» By Reference (b,)*,. the bureau of Ordnance requested tan- f gential strain gage records and associated firing information on ~f, ... a, wide- variety -o\f.' g'un-s,, to ae-rye- as background information in

5. PROCEDURE\
•a.. The •d'Äta reported herein wars- obtained during firings- conducted under p$fter test d-i-rf'C't.i-*ee., These firing.* were con« duöted over a- period of jjtears dating bask to 19&3.
i •
b> The strain record* presented in this report were prepared and photpgraphed immediately following the firing; programs in which they were obtained and were reprinted for this report* In
'•& great many Instances they represent only a portion of the records taken on each program« • The remainder of the records of these programsj as; Well as records from other programs9 wer© nev^r prepared for photographing. Presentation of the record© from this seoosid group will require considerabi© research in non-current filesi it is contemplated that some or ail of the additional information will be released in subsequent reports, as time permits.
c. The system for obtaining barrel strain measurements has not fundamentally changed over the period of these tests» This system employs a resistance type strain gag© (Baldwin SR-4) which is securely bonded to the barrel at the desired location and orientation* This gage forms one leg of a standard wheatstone bridges. the remainder of which is in the laboratory. The bridge output is amplified and applied across the deflection plates of a esthode ray tube-» A recording camera Is placed in front of the tube. Calibration is obtained by recording known resistance changes immediately before each firing test,
6> RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS t
a» Th® tangential strain gage records for sixty-one (6-1) rounds on guns I6"/50- l$"^4$*-<6*/47* 5w/3$ and 3,?'7Q are con- -t-a-ine.d.'in Appendix (B) (16 photographs). The' strain gage records fail into- two distinct patterns. The wn©*»iaal*8 pattern shows a rather abrupt rise in strain,, the expansion reaching a plateau and $ee:&iaing much, more: slowly than it rose. The «»abnormal9* pattern differs in that the strain rises abruptly to a peak value often, considerably higher than, the plateau* and then fall© back equally sharply to the plateau. The customary slow decline in strain then follows. The plateau strains are in general pro« portional to, powder pressure, while the overside of the rotating band is responsible for the peak strains.
