ABSTRACT:
A device for imparting non-explosive and non-propulsive properties to a warhead during a slow cook-off test, which comprises a pyrotechnic pellet located inside a tube having a predetermined ignition temperature of at least 130.degree. C. but below the violent ignition temperature of the material under slow cook-off conditions, whereby the venting holes present in the aft closure of said tube, are covered by a composite material that loses its strength below the predetermined temperature, causing a pressure relief and a non-propulsive burning of said warhead.
