    Specifications
    Overall Dimensions:
    2.375 inches OD by 7.50 inches long
    L* from 5 to 50 Chamber pressure to 1000 psi
    Pounds Thrust Throat Diameter: L* equivalents
    200 lb. Thrust .650 inches At L* = 35, thrust is 200 pounds at Chamber Pressure of 450 PSI
    340 lb. Thrust .840 inches At L* = 25, thrust is 340 pounds at Chamber Pressure of 450 PSI
    820 lb. Thrust 1.310 inches At L* = 15, thrust is 820 pounds at Chamber Pressure of 450 PSI

    Choice of Propellants and burn duration determine extent of ablative material and thrust producible with an adquate L* for the propellant combination and ratio.

    Concentric injector is standard; propellants and mixture ratio must be specified for exact sizing or blanks can be provided.

    Throat size and material for nozzle must be specified.

    Oxidizing combustion products require LORODE (tm) Cermet nozzle for burn durations over 5 seconds. Graphite is used for runs up to 50 seconds. Longer or higher temperature combustion may require Tungsten.

    Basic kit with graphite nozzle of any size w/o injector - $ 225.00

    Blank injector - $ 40.00
