Ammonium Perchlorate (AP) shall adhere to the following: Ammonium Perchlorate, White Granular, Crystalline Solid having a minimum purity of 98.0%, a nominal content of 0.2% Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) as a conditioner, and a nominal particle size of 200 microns in accordance with MIL-DTL-32103, and all references to weapon specification (WS) 18485A, and AFX-757.
