A method for ranking the shock initiation sensitivity of explosive powders
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:10177779
Mound has developed a method to rank the shock initiation sensitivity of compacted secondary or insensitive explosive powders. The method has the advantage of using a relatively inexpensive slapper detonator device and a simple test procedure that allows the sensitivity of a powder to be tested in a very short time and at relatively low cost. This report describes the test, as well as several recent operational and safety improvements.
