Recommended Hazard Classification Procedures for In-Process Propellant and Explosive Material

Abstract

A hazard classification procedure is described. The procedure is designed to characterize the potential hazards(fire and explosion effects) imposed by in-process chemical mixtures which exist in propellant and explosive manufacturing operations. Classification testing is divided into a sensitivity evaluation and an effects evaluation. Classifications which are assigned are nearly identical to the NATO/UN classes for storage and transport of explosive materials.
