Abstract: It is shown that the method of continuous measurement of pressure at the combustion front using an axial-force gauge is applicable to gas-free pyrotechnic systems producing solid reaction products and characterized by low gas permeability of specimens in the initial state. Small inclusions of a high-energy material producing gas combustion products are placed in the specimens to check the reliability of the result. These inclusions are located near the inlet to the main line going to the pressure gauge. The results of experiments on Ti+C+20% TiC specimens containing inclusions of pyroxylin powder are given.
