UNDERWATER EXPLOSION TESTS OF TWO STEAM PRODUCING EXPLOSIVES. II. 50- AND 300-LB CHARGE TESTS.

Abstract

Charges of Lithanol and H2O2/Al weighing 50 and 300 lb were fired underwater to obtain shock wave and bubble measurements. An initiation problem with H2O2/Al was apparent; no initiation problem was indicated for Lithanol. Both compositions exhibited an increase in bubble parameters with increasing charge weight.
