This engages in a pronounced cannelure on the projectile just to the rear of the copper or gilding metal drive band. The projectile is steel and is filled with 1.77 kg of White Phosphorus (WP). A point detonating FUI 56 fuze is threaded into the nose fuze cavity; the PD M51 may also be used. When the fuze functions on impact it ignites a centrally located burster tube filled with Hexolite 50:50. The resultant internal pressure fractures the steel body and exposes the WP contents to the atmosphere, producing clouds of grey/white smoke for approximately 40 seconds, forming a smoke screen 75 m wide. The round uses an Mle F2 brass or steel cartridge case (of the M148 or M150 type - length 617 mm) with a TPA electrical primer in the base. The charge is a nominal 2.4 kg of multiperforated LB-7 T-70 single-base propellant. This propellant load produces a muzzle velocity of 695 m/s. The 105 mm Smoke WP OFUM 105 F1 produces a muzzle velocity of 695 m/s. Maximum effective combat range is 925 m.</p><h2>Authorised fuzes</h2><p>BD FUI 56 or M51 Equivalent rounds FRANCE</p><p>FRANCE</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Giat Industries</p><p>Type: 105 mm OFUM PH Mle F1</p><p>Description: See text</p><p>SPAIN</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>SANTA BARBARA SA</p><p>Type: OFPH 105 F2</p><p>Description: Standard specifications for full power round.
