Shock sensitivity of 2-(5-cyanotetrazolato) pentaamine cobalt(III) perchlorate. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6897036
CP shock sensitivity threshold tests has been conducted with flyer velocities above 1.0 mm/..mu..s and all the samples had detonated. The energy source to explode the foil was a capacitor discharge unit. Flyer thickness was varied. Impact tests were conducted in air and vacuum. Tests were also conducted with flyers of different area. A steel dent block was used to position the explosive sample, which was pressed into a steel ring, and verify detonation. Diagnostic tests were performed with a streak camera.
