Skin sensitivities of LX-10 and LX-14 as functions of billet weight. Process development endeavor No. 301

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6845648
Skid sensitivity as a function of billet weight was determined using large-scale sensitive pole billets of both LX-10 and LX-14. Billet weights were 18, 36 and 57 kg. Tests were conducted at two impact angles, 14/sup 0/ and 45/sup 0/. Results indicate that skid sensitivity increases with billet weight. Prediction models for both explosives were derived from the experimental data.
