The new Sandia 9-M gas gun: Features and experiences

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5121344
The gas gun which is operated by Organization 2514 of Sandia National Laboratories was designed and built for the study of energetic materials. We realized from the beginning that we must safely contain any material that might react when impacted and any fragment that might be generated by the shock loading. We also recognized the need for diagnostics of numerous types and techniques. With these in mind, we set about to design and build a gun that could be operated easily and safely by a single operator, and that would facilitate the reliable acquisition of data.
