Download or read book Primary Explosives written by Robert Matyáš and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive overview of this topic. It serves as a single source for information about the properties, preparation, and uses of all relevant primary explosives. The first chapter provides background such as the basics of initiation and differences between requirements on primary explosives used in detonators and igniters. The authors then clarify the influence of physical characteristics on explosive properties, focusing on those properties required for primary explosives. Furthermore, the issue of sensitivity is discussed. All the chapters on particular groups of primary explosives are structured in the same way, including introduction, physical and chemical properties, explosive properties, preparation and documented use. The authors thoroughly verified all data and information. A unique feature of this book are original microscopic images of some explosives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems that there is no book that treats the measurement of the physical pa rameters of explosives as its only subject, although limited information is avail able in a number of books. Therefore, I have tried to bridge this gap in the lit erature with this book. A large number of various physical parameters have to be determined ex perimentally in order to test or characterise an explosive. Various physical principles have been applied for such measurements. Accordingly, a large number of different experimental methods exist, as well as various testing appa ratuses and procedures. On the other hand, great progress has been made recently in the study of detonation phenomena. New measuring techniques can assess extremely short processes to below nanoseconds scale. They make it possible to determine im portant parameters in detonation physics. I have made a great attempt to cover the available literature data on the subject. Because it would be a highly demanding task to include in a single volume all the methods that are in use by various testing agencies, I have tried to give primarily the principles for determination of individual physical pa rameters of explosives by different measuring methods as well as data treatment procedures.

Download or read book Impact Sensitivity of Wetted Primary Explosives as Determined by the Ball Drop Test written by B. D. Pollock and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of a number of liquids and liquid mixtures in sensitizing primary explosives were investigated by the ball drop method. Partly wetted lead azides were found to exhibit enhanced sensitivity to impact as compared to like compounds in the dry state. Lead styphnate and tetracene were desensitized by all experimental liquids. A tentative explanation of this effect is advanced in terms of the role played by liquids in causing desensitization or sensitization, according to the degree of wetting and the existence of confinement which would prevent dissipation of impact energy.

Download or read book The Effect of an Electric Field on Sensitivity of Primary Explosives written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electrostatic hazard of handling primary explosives (RD1333 lead azide, dextrinated lead azide, basic lead styphnate, and tetracene) due to their exposure to electric fields was evaluated. The study showed that RD1333 lead azide became slightly more sensitive electrostatically after a particular sequence of voltage applications. The average electric field strength required to initiate explosion in pressed, dextrinated lead azide was a function of the density and thickness of the wafers, and varied from 37 to 73 kV/cm. This was generally less than the dielectric breakdown strength of air. It was demonstrated that the initiation of the pressed, dextrinated lead azide could not be solely due to bulk Joule heating but also involved an electric field effect.
