Abstract In the interests of safety and interchangeability, this Standard provides pressure and velocity performance and dimensional characteristics for centerfire pistol and revolver sporting ammunition. Included are procedures and equipment for determining these criteria.

American National Standard

Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer.

Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests.

Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution.

The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.

The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretation should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard.

CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information of all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

Foreword

The development of this voluntary industry performance standard was initiated under the auspices of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (SAAMI). A Products Standards Task Force was established by the Institute in 1975 and charged with the drafting of this and other standards with their subsequent periodic revisions.

The material presented provides the commercial manufacturer of factory-loaded ammunition with pressure and velocity performance and dimensional characteristics. Included are procedures and equipment for determining these criteria. For the purpose of this standard a commercial manufacturer is defined as one who produces ammunition by fabricating component parts from raw materials as opposed to remanufacture with parts originally made by others.

This standard for Centerfire Pistol and Revolver Sporting Ammunition was first published in 1979 and periodically updated until this revision in 2015. Changes in the standard with each revision include minor adjustments of velocities, the addition of new load offerings, and updating of recommended equipment sources and the latest procedures for reporting reference ammunition assessments.

Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to: The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc., Flintlock Ridge Office Center, 11 Mile Hill Road, Newtown, Connecticut 06470-2359.

Consensus for this standard was achieved by use of the Canvass Method.

The following individuals and organizations recognized as having an interest in the standardization of safety requirements for factory-loaded sporting ammunition were contacted prior to the approval of this standard. Inclusion in this list does not necessarily imply that the individual or organization concurred with the submittal of the standard to ANSI:

VELOCITY DATA INTERPRETATION

VELOCITY DATA INTERPRETATION

Velocity recommendations are stated on the basis of a nominal lot mean velocity as measured using equipment in accordance with the requirements of Section III and the procedures detailed in Section

II. Due to the fact that sporting firearms for general distribution are typically manufactured to dimensional tolerances greater than those specified for test barrels, there should be no expectation that these velocities can be duplicated from any test utilizing firearms. This situation is further confounded by discrepancies in barrel length. Furthermore, once ammunition has left the control of the manufacturer, storage conditions outside those recommended by the manufacturer may cause variations in the velocity as measured using test equipment and procedures which conform to the requirements of this Standard.

The values presented on pages 9 through 24 are recommended values for the use of ammunition producers at the time of manufacture. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to establish sample sizes, sampling frequencies, and tolerances to ensure the performance of the ammunition obtained by the ultimate user meets all applicable safety and functional standards. Of particular importance in establishing velocity tolerances is the understanding that velocities significantly higher than the nominal lot mean can cause actual maximum range performance to exceed expected values.

Ammunition tested subsequent to manufacture using equipment and procedures conforming to these guidelines can be expected to produce velocities within a tolerance of ±90 fps of the tabulated values.

FACTORS AFFECTING

PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS

FACTORS AFFECTING PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS

Two principal methods of measuring centerfire pistol and revolver pressures are recognized: the copper crusher method and the piezoelectric transducer method. One or the other may be used or they may be used simultaneously.

EXPLANATION OF

PRESSURE TERMINOLOGY

EXPLANATION OF PRESSURE TERMINOLOGY

The SAAMI Pressure data outlined in this section is based on a Maximum Average Pressure for each cartridge and a Coefficient of Variation of 5%. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) of 5% was based on the CV that exists for the 40,000 psi pressure level and is calculated by dividing the population standard deviation ( = 2,000 psi) by the Maximum Average Pressure (MAP = 40,000 psi) which equals 0.05 (5%). All other pressure terminology is derived directly from these two terms.

SAAMI recognizes two pressure-measuring systems. The preferred system is the piezoelectric transducer system with the transducer flush-mounted in the chamber of the test barrel. Pressure developed by the burning propellant exerts force on the transducer through the cartridge case wall causing the transducer to deflect, creating a measurable electric charge. Pressures measured with this system are expressed in units of "pounds per square inch" (abbreviated psi).

The second, older system employs a copper crusher cylinder which is compressed by a piston fitted to a piston hole into the chamber of the test barrel. Pressure generated by the burning propellant acts on the base of the piston forcing the piston to move, thereby permanently compressing the copper cylinder. Pressures measured by this system are expressed in "Copper Units of Pressure"

(abbreviated as "CUP").

Throughout the following text the pressure is expressed in terms of "pounds per square inch" ("psi") however, it should be understood that the same procedures apply to pressures expressed in "Copper

Units of Pressure" (CUP).

Maximum Average Pressure - is the recommended maximum pressure level for loading commercial sporting ammunition.

Standard Deviation () - The Standard Deviation for each Maximum Average Pressure level is based on a Coefficient of Variation of 5%. This 5% Coefficient of Variation is maintained throughout the

SAAMI pressure spectrum providing a realistic Standard Deviation for each pressure level. To obtain the Standard Deviation for a particular MAP, multiply the MAP by 0.05 (i.e., 40,000 psi x

0.05 = 2,000 psi).

Standard Error ( ) x σ - The standard error is calculated by dividing the Standard Deviation

(population S. D. = ) by the square root of the sample size nσσ x

Maximum Probable Lot Mean (MPLM) - The MPLM is calculated by adding two standard errors to the Maximum Average Pressure in order to assure there is a 97.5% probability that the Maximum

Probable Lot Mean pressure is not exceeded. See Figure 1.

The SAAMI pressures are calculated based on a sample size of ten (10). The Maximum Probable

Lot Mean represents the midpoint of the upper service pressure distribution. See Figure 1. For example, if the Maximum Average Pressure is 40,000 psi, the Maximum Probable Lot Mean

(MPLM) is calculated as follows:

MPLM = Maximum Average Pressure + 2 standard errors

MPLM = 40,000 psi + [(40,000 psi x 0.05)/√10] x 2

MPLM = 40,000 psi + (633 psi x 2) = 40,000 + 1266 psi = 41,266 psi rounded to 41,300 psi

EXPLANATION OF

PRESSURE TERMINOLOGY

Maximum Probable Sample Mean (MPSM) - is the maximum expected average pressure that may be observed in the testing of product subsequent to its manufacture and is not intended for use as a loading control point. The Maximum Probable Sample Mean is positioned three (3) standard errors above the Maximum Probable Lot Mean i.e., MPLM + 3 x

. See Figure 1. The Maximum Probable

Sample Mean defined here is the value previously referred to in the ANSI/SAAMI Standards as the

Maximum Product Average.

Maximum Extreme Variation - The maximum allowable sample E.V. (Extreme Variation or Range) is a statistic derived from the knowledge of the population Standard Deviation. Applying table figures from the Relative Range Tables (Biometrika Tables for Statisticians) we calculate the

Maximum E.V. or Range as (population ) x 5.16 (table constant for sample of 10 at 99.0% confidence level) i.e., 2,000 psi x 5.16 = 10,320 psi rounded down to 10,300 psi.

EXPLANATION OF

PRESSURE MEASURING SYSTEMS

EXPLANATION OF PRESSURE MEASURING SYSTEMS

The two SAAMI recognized pressure-measuring systems for centerfire pistol and revolver cartridges are the copper crusher system and the piezoelectric transducer system.

A brief explanation of these two systems follows:

COPPER CRUSHER SYSTEM

This system employs a copper crusher cylinder that is compressed by a piston fitted to a piston hole into the chamber of the test barrel. The pressure developed by the gases from the burning propellant acts through the piston hole, allowing the gases to force the piston upward, and thereby permanently compressing the copper crusher cylinder. The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers'

Institute has adopted the pressure units designation of "Copper Units of Pressure" (abbreviated CUP) for this system. This designation applies only to values obtained using the particular crushers, tarage tables and methods outlined in this Standard.

PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCER SYSTEM

This system employs a piezoelectric transducer flush mounted in the chamber of the test barrel.

Pressure developed by the gases from the burning propellant exerts force on the transducer through the cartridge case wall causing the transducer to deflect, creating a measurable electric charge. This electrical charge is converted into a reading of pressure.

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute has adopted the pressure units designation of "pounds per square inch" (abbreviated psi) for this system. This designation applies to values obtained with transducers and methods as outlined in this Standard.
