DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7349224· OSTI ID:7349224
Pure TATB and RX-03-BB were subjected to tests described in Department of the Army Technical Bulletin TB 700-2 for classification of explosives for shipment. Tests conducted included impact sensitivity, thermal stability, detonation, ignition and unconfined burning, and NOL card gap. Based on the test results and the interpretation procedures in the reference document, pure TATB at a density of 1.841 Mg/m/sup 3/ should be classified as Class A (Military Type 7) and RX-03-BB at a density of 1.899 Mg/m/sup 3/ should be classified as Class B (Military Type 2).
