2.6.1 Objective
To investigate the validity of the static pressure scaling laws
for large yield surface bursts. The principal pressure region of
interest is above 40 psi. In addition, supporting pressure-time
meagtiréments will be obtained within the Project 3.3 tree stand.
Self-contained, flash initiated pressure-time recording gages
in ground; baffles will be installed at various distances from ground
zero, generally in the pressure region above 40 psi. In addition,
pressure-time gages will be placed in ground baffles ahead of the
Project 3.3 trg@ stand, within the tree stand and behind the tree stand
4s an instrume

2.6.3 RemarksThe self-contained mechanical gage was field tested during
UPSHCT-KNOTHULE, The stated accuracy of the gage is + 10 per cent.
rroject 1.2b will participate in all shots. Limitations imposed by
Rad-Safe considerations may, restrict the participation to fewer shots.

Procedure
lJ
Fitot tubes oriented toward ground zero {will be installed on
islands at approximately 5 ft above the ground ;at three different
ground ranges. ‘The pitot tube will contain al.side~on pressure opening and the static pressure will be obtained for couparative purposes.
In addition, a multiple instrument station will be/installed on
George. This station will contain a density gage,'4 temperature gage,
a pitot tube, a drag gage and a ground level presstire gages
