Guide for Evaluating 12 Inch Substantial Dividing Walls (SDWs) to Provide Protection from Remote Operation. Volume 1

Abstract

This report provides installations with procedures to relate Net Explosive Weights (NEWs) to combinations of intervening 12-inch Substantial Dividing Walls (SDWs) to provide protection to personnel from remote operations where an accidental detonation is the hazard. Protection to be provided is IAW DoD and Army policy: 2.3 psi maximum overpressure exposure and no hazardous fragments. The report consists of two Volumes. Volume I is a how to guide for installation use; Volume II is the rationale (calculations, etc) behind the Volume I Protection from thermal effects from flash fires. deflagrations. etc. is not addressed in the Guide.
