Fwiw, we did ultrasound only on the shuttle solid boosters, nitroglycerin mixed with aluminum chlorhydrate and a rubber binder/filler is a wee bit unstable to be putting much energy into. They did withstand rail and truck transport but not dropping

Since everyone was paranoid about propellant but not temps or o rings this kinda worked

Those were fun days.
