Detonation Products Catcher.
Abstract
This application discloses an apparatus for catching a sample of solid high explosive detonation products that get ahead of the shock front during the detonation process. The device is passive. The door of the rectangular box of the device is open to allow the passage of solid products ahead of the skockwave into the box. The door to the box is closed mechanically, by pressure applied to both sides of the bent (angled) door. The shockwave is the source of this pressure. A mechanical latch secures the door on closing. The device is made of steel plate and pipe of sufficient thickness to withstand explosive shock.
