Analysis and Correlation of Underwater Explosion Data at NOL

Abstract

The methods used in acquiring, analyzing, and correlating data from underwater explosion tests are discussed. These include preliminary tests of small (1-lb) charges of new compositions using diaphragm gages, and tests of larger charges using more elaborate instrumentation. Methods for computing equal weight and equal volume ratios, and for computing equivalent weights, are presented. The possible variation of these values with distance will be discussed, and methods of making estimates from limited data will also be given.
