Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7303068· OSTI ID:7303068

Three Holston lots of TATB PBX were tested for physical strength. Two of the lots were LASL X-0290 (5 percent Kel-F) which used standard aminated TATB while the third lot was made from wet aminated TATB at the 7.5 percent Kel-F composition. Tensile stress of the wet aminated batch was low. The standard aminated X-0290 lots had acceptable stress and strain. Three other lots of PBX made at Pantex using the Holston process with standard aminated TATB were also tested for physical strength.
