Summary:

A series of shock tube studies demonstrates that two types of pressure gages respond to dust carried with shock waves by indicating an increase in dynamic pressure. This contribution to the dynamic pressure is approximately the product of the dust density and the square of the dust velocity under the experimental conditions. Besides this information the studies give insight into the interaction of a square shock wave with dust when that dust is placed in a plane before and parallel to the shock front. It is found ihat the shape of the pressure wave is little changed except for a rounding of the front. The dust, after accelerating, is carried as a Pulse with the mass flow velocity of the air.
