Test Operations Procedure (TOP) 10-2-400 Open End Compressed Gas Driven Shock Tube

Abstract

This Test Operations Procedure (TOP) provides guidance for conducting simulated free-field blast overpressure testing using an open-end compressed-gas-driven shock tube. Procedures are provided for instrumentation, test item positioning, estimation of key test parameters, operation of the shock tube, data collection, and reporting. The procedures in this document are based on the use of helium gas and Mylar film diaphragms.
