Detonation Propagation Tests on Aqueous Slurries of TNT, Composition B, M-9 and M-10

Abstract

The objective of this program was to investigate the detonation propagation characteristics of aqueous slurries of TNT, Composition B, M-9 and M-10 in 2 inch, schedule 40, stainless steel pipes of various lengths. Two operational modes were studied; the dynamic or pumping mode and, the static, or settled slurry mode. The dynamic condition was simulated by adding an inert gelling agent to a homogeneous, aqueous, explosive slurry. Information generated by this program will be used in support of the United States Army's munitions manufacturing and loading facilities.
