A Comparison between Several Standard Methods Used to Characterize the Ignition/Ignition Transfer of Pyrotechnic Compositions - A Collaborative Study. Part 1. Data

Abstract

A collaborative study has been made of samples of pyrotechnic compositions (delays, coloured smokes and a percussion primer) by a number of laboratories. A variety of techniques have been used to characterize the ignition/ignition transfer behaviour of the compositions. These include temperature of ignition, heat of reaction, burning rate, time to ignition, safety tests and DSC/DTA analysis. This report presents the data collected by each laboratory during this investigation.
