Steel Dent Output of a Number of Common Explosives. Volume 1. Unclassified Explosives

Abstract

The steel dent output of thirty-four explosives has been measured as a function of the explosive density and consolidation pressure using the Small Scale Gap Test Configuration. Output data summaries include: observed dents, assessment of measurement errors, dents corrected for block hardnesses, and dents fitted to straight lines. Discussions are included to explain those various presentations. Useful by-products of the output study are the density vs consolidation pressure data. Nomographs have been devised as a compact way of presenting this information.
