Hello all,
How much additional pressure do end grains really produce, and how?
A vendor was cleaning out some old misc. stock and I was given 3. 75mm redline grains, 2 of which are end grains with a larger core. The grains were leftovers from a couple M1550R motors and I also have the nozzle kit with o-rings etc. from the M1550 as well. I was told that a L1150 uses the same grains (3 of 5) and I could effectively make that motor. However since two of the three that I was given are end grains with the larger core I should use a larger nozzle. I was told I could simply drill out the nozzle for the M1550 a little larger to compensate for the added pressure the second end grain would cause. If this is true, how much larger?
I looked all over on Aerotech's site and of course my luck, there is nothing on the L1150 with info on if it even uses an end grain. No instructions posted for that motor that I could find but there are for the M1550.
Thanks!
