ARL Experimental Facility 108 A/B Blasts Tests
Abstract
The Impact Physics Branch of the Terminal Effects Division of the Weapons and Materials Research Directorate (WMRD), U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), was tasked by the Armor Mechanics Branch, WMRD, ARL, to perform blast measurements in ARL Experimental Facility 108 A/B. This memorandum report briefly summarizes the results of four blast tests that were conducted on 8 November 1999. The purpose of this test program was to measure the blast pressure exhibited on various walls of the experimental facility's chamber (180A) as a result of the detonation of various size spheres of Detasheet and to determine the maximum explosive weight that could be used in this facility without extensive modifications.
