Smoke pot

Smoke Screen Demonstration over the harbor, Palermo, Sicily. The screen was produced by mechanical moke generators and smoke pots in thirteen minutes. 

With types A, B, C, and E HC mixtures, the CWS had a range of smoke agents suitable for hand grenades, rifle grenades, artillery shells, rockets, bombs, and smoke pots. Shells, grenades, and bombs found employment during the war but by far the most widely used HC munition was the smoke pot. 

At the time of Pearl Harbor the CWS s standard smoke pot. Ml, was a cylindrical can 8 inches high and 5 inches in diameter, holding about 10 pounds of HC. Fired by hand or electric current, it released a cloud of grayish white smoke for a period of 5 to 8 minutes. The service had devised this pot in the early 1930 s as a munition for training exercises, but when war came it was the only munition of its type available and the American Army took it along to North Africa.  

Because they released smoke immediately, pots were useful in setting up a preliminary screen during the five or so minutes that it took large mechanical generators to warm up and start functioning. They helped shield harbors and installations on the coast of North Africa as well as at the harbors at Palermo, Licata, and Porto Empodocle on Sicily.

An important example of the first type is the oil smoke pot which is powered by a slow burning, gassy pyrotechnic mixt such as amm nitrate and amm chloride with a small amount of carbonaceous fuel. The resulting gas jet pulls a stream of oil from a reservoir and injects it into a venturi where the formation of the aerosol takes place... 

Hexachloroethane is released to the air during military operations and training exercises when smoke-producing devices containing it are used. In a smoke pot or grenade, most of it is used up by the smoke-producing reaction. Only small amounts (5% or less) remain after the smoke has formed. 

Average hexachloroethane concentrations in deposited residues from several smoke pots, using different bum configurations, ranged from 1,900 to 54,700 mg/kg (Schaeffer et al. 1988). The authors estimated that the soil load of hexachloroethane from a single upright canister (smoke pot) could reach 6,054 mg hexachloroethane per kg soil in a semicircular area with a 5 m radius downwind of the bum.

The burning rate of delay compositions can be very fast (mm ms 1) or quite slow (mm s-1). Delay compositions which have a fast burn rate of greater than 1 mm ms-1 are used in projectiles and bombs that explode on impact. Delay compositions which have a slow burn rate between 1 and 6 mm s-1 are used in ground chemical munitions such as smoke pots, tear gas and smoke grenades. Delay compositions which have intermediate burn rates are used in effective blasting in quarries and salt mines. Here, the explosions in the boreholes are staggered to reduce vibration and improve fragmentation. 

Chemical Pots or Smoke Pots Portable containers, usually cylindrical in shape, filled with a chemical smoke-producing agent. They may be subdivided into "burning and "generator types. The former type is usually filled with a mixt consisting of HC 47, ZnO 47 granulated A1 6% when ignited it burns with evoln of dense smoke.

Brian had to have a drug test to get his first job. The company was really strict, and they required all new employees to have a hair-sample drug test. It didn t seem too bad Brian just had to let someone cut some of his hair. He knew that he had taken some of those blue pills his friend Andy had, and he smoked pot, but he had stopped doing all that one month ago because he knew he would need to pass the test. But the hair sample easily showed his drug use over the past three months, and even being clean for one month didn t make a difference. Brian didn t get the job. And although he did get in trouble with his parents, he at least didn t get in trouble with the law.
