ABSTRACT: This paper reports results taken from a wider investigation of the effect of various parameters on the fragmentation behaviour of steel firework mortar tubes. During simulated misfire experimental information was obtained relating to the role of the weld in determining rupture behaviour in seamed steel mortar tubes. The results have helped to resolve different opinions on the hazard posed by fragmentation of welded and seamless mortar tubes.
