Compilation of Safety Separation Data on Bulk Explosives and Munitions

Abstract

Safe separation tests on eight bulk explosives and 17 types of munitions were conducted to provide safety data for the upgrading of manufacturing technology. The configurations examined were applicable to different stages of munitions manufacturing at various Army Ammunition Plants (AAPs) and contractor facilities. This report is the compilation of safe operation distances of all bulk explosives and munition types that have been established to date. It provides a constant format which is easily accessible and a comprehensive and ready reference for engineers, safety analysis, project leaders, and manufacturing personnel.
