Tafiani Test. A manometric thermal stability test for NC and proplnts, described earlier in Vol 1, XXIV to XXV, with its many modifications. In all modifications of the method the test tube containing the sample preheated to the desired temp (135° for NC, 110° for proplnts) is evacuated, and the increase in pressure produced by the gaseous decompn products is measured with a Hg manometer. The test is usually terminated when the pressure has attained 100mm Hg... 

Perhaps conceptually one of the simplest tests for comparing the stability of related polymer samples is that of measuring oxygen uptake. In such a measurement the amount of oxygen reacting with a polymer sample, at a particular temperature and over a specific time, can be measured either manometrically or volumetrically, by a relatively simple device [1], such as that illustrated in Figure 4 [10]. Whereas such a measurement may be made on solid samples, such as sheet, powder or film, in order to minimise errors, the measurement is preferably made on thin film samples.

Manometric test. The idea of measuring the pressure of the gaseous products evolved during decomposition of explosives on storage or heating was known as early as in the middle of the last century. It was mentioned by Abel [96] in his classic work on the stabilization of nitrocellulose. Ph. Hess [97] examined the decomposition of nitrocellulose at 70°C and measured the pressure of the decomposition products by means of a mercury manometer. Mittasch [98] applied the same idea...
