New titrimetric methods for the assay of explosives

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6206851

Lawrence Livermore Laboratory is involved in detonation calorimetry studies of various high explosives, some of rather exotic nature. The explosives and composites obviously need to be assayed. The following analytical procedures for several explosives and composites are discussed: (1) a nonaqueous titrimetric method for hydrazine mononitrate; (2) the precipitation titration of bitetrazole and some other tetrazoles, and; (3) the nonaqueous microdetermination of RDX and HMX.
