AB This paper contains pressure coupled combustion response T-burner measurements on pressed pellets of HMX. Pellets of pure oxidizer were pressed with a donut die to allow a 0.45 inch center hole required for pressure pulsing. The pellets were burned in T-burner pipes of length 10, 15, 22, 36, and 50 inches at pressures of 200, 500 and 1000 psi. HMX oscillated spontaneously in the T-burner at 200 and 500 psi, but required pulsing at 1000 psi. At the lowest pressure of 200 psi, HMX oscillated spontaneously with growth rates of 2.4 to 11.8 s<sup>&minus;1</sup>. At 500 psi, growth rates ranged from &minus;5 to 31 s<sup>&minus;1</sup> and at 1000 psi the growth rates ranged from &minus;12 to +4 sec<sup>&minus;1</sup>. This data is of special interest to instability modelers, especially those doing transient monopropellant modeling, as there has not been any pure ingredient pressure coupled response data.
