Hexanitrostilbene: Review of Shielded Mild Detonating Core Performance. III.

Abstract

The results of a study to determine the performance of selected shielded mild detonating cords (SMDC) subjected to elevated temperatures of 218 C (425 F), 260 C (500F), and 282 C (540 F) are presented herein. The purpose of the work was to determine the response of hexanitrostilbene produced in the United States and England with respect to particle geometry and purity when used in the SMDC design. All of the HNS samples were acceptable within the specified performance tolerance in the SMDC, except one sample which assayed high in acid content before being subjected to elevated temperatures.
