High explosive material testing laboratory scale model test

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10111019
An experimental study of the personnel protective capability of a proposed high explosive material test laboratory using a one-eighth-scale model is summarized. Various configurations of the scale model were tested against internal blast loading over a range of scaled explosive charged weights. Pressures and resulting impulses were measured at pertinent locations on the model. The experimental results are compared with standard blast loading calculation methods. This study provides data for developing guidelines to protect personnel in typical high explosive test facilities.
