TNT Equivalency Testing of Chemical Mixtures in Continuous TNT Manufacturing

Abstract

Tests were conducted to determine the TNT equivalencies of selected chemical mixtures in their process components from continuous TNT production facilities. This report presents the rationale for selecting the components which were tested, the philosophies used in planning and designing the tests, the designs of the simulated process components and supplementary test equipment, the test procedures, the test results, and analysis of the test results. A methodology was developed to correlate the experimental data quite well and thereby be able to predict airblast output produced by other untested process components of similar geometry without additional testing.
