RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DECOMPOSITION KINETICS AND SENSITIVITY

Abstract

Streak camera studies were made of shock propagation of 1,2-bis(difluoroamino)propane(1,2-DP), 2,2-bis(difluoroamino)propane(2,2-DP), and 1,2bis(difluoroamino)-2-methyl propane(IBA). The failure diameter of 1,2-DP in glass is less than 25 mm and greater than 10 mm; the stable detonation velocity is about 6.0 mm/microsecond). Failure diameter limits for 2,2-DP have been established in glass as < 25 > 13, and the stable detonation velocity is 6.0 mm/microseconds. No conclusions can be drawn as to the failure diameter or detonation velocity of IBA. Fluctuating shock velocities were observed in each of the three compounds. The continuous wire technique was proven reliable with detonating liquids by firing nitromethane and n-propyl nitrate. (Author)
