TNT Equivalency of RDX
Abstract
Peak side-on blast overpressure and scaled positive impulse have been measured for RDX using configurations typical in a manufacturing facility. Quantities of 22.68 kg (50 lb), 45.36 kg (100 lb), 27.22 kg (60 lb), and 54.43 kg (120 lb) were tested in simulated shipping drums and simulated Nutsche containers. High explosive equivalency values for each test size were obtained as a function of scaled distance by comparison to known pressure and impulse characteristics for TNT surface bursts.
