Abstract
In this paper, the proper quantity of conditioning rounds has been studied using the statistical analysis on the basis of the acceptance test data of K676 and K677 propelling charge for K9 self propelled howitzer. In general, the muzzle velocity of the initial rounds tends to be a little lower than that of the succeeding rounds. The latter rounds are likely to have the constant velocities after firing the appropriate conditioning rounds. The main cause of velocity difference was proved to be the proper quantity of conditioning rounds by doing the correlation analysis among the initial tube temperature, the tube life and the quantity of conditioning rounds. The result of paired t-test shows that two rounds of conditioning projectiles are proved to be enough to maintain the constant velocity in the case of the acceptance test of K676 and K677 propelling charge.
