TATB interlaboratory sieving study

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6301567
Interlaboratory comparisons were made of sieving standard aminated TATB samples. Five samples each from two TATB lots were analyzed by five participating laboratories. Intralaboratory results were repeatable indicating acceptable individual laboratory procedures. The interlaboratory results for the percentage < 45 ..mu..m varied 8.6%. The most likely cause for the interlaboratory variation is the use of different sieve sets. When a correction factor is used for individual effective sieve aperture size the interlaboratory results varied only 0.7%.
