A HEAT RESISTANT EXPLOSIVE FILL FOR LEADS AND BOOSTERS

Abstract

The sensitivity of small highly confined charges of DATB has been investigated. The charges were press-loaded into axially drilled brass cylinders, either 1.0-inch or 2.0-inches outside diameter, 0.1 to 0.6-inch inside diam eter, and 0.25 to 1.0 inches in length. The investigation was a preliminary surj3-from which it is held that DATB has sufficient sensitivity to be used as a heat-resistant explosive fill for leads and boosters.
