Stress-testing of the throat of a rocket's nozzle

Test motor in which high initial pressure can be reduced suddenly provides a method of testing stress effects in the throat of a rockets nozzle. Motors operating pressure is increased to aggravate tensile stresses in a submerged throat. Opposing compression stresses are limited by control of the operating pressure.
