HARD PAN I Test Series - Test and Instrumentation Plans. Volume 2. Instrumentation Plan

Abstract

This Appendix describes the instrumentation of the HARD PAN I series of high explosive tests conducted near Trading Post, Kansas in the period October 1974 to December 1975. The HARD PAN series consisted of a total of 17 events, four of which were major tests. The first two major events (HP I-1 and HP I-2A) were separated from the final two major events (HP I-2B and HP I-3) by several sets of calibration events (SCAL, ICAL, HBL and SICAL) to aid in the final design of the main event (HP I-3). With the exception of two of the calibration events extensive instrumentation was employed to measure ground and structure motions, oil stress, structure/medium stresses, structural strains, and blast pressure. The Appendix is in eight parts and each, except for Part 8, addresses an individual major event or a set of similar calibration events. Part 8 is concerned with instrumentation topics generally common to all of the tests.
