Summary Of: Explosive
of an explosive may take years... The latter term is used to describe an explosive phenomenon whereby the decomposition is... front is capable of passing through the high explosive material at great speeds... Explosive force is released in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the explosive... the explosive forces can be focused to produce a greater local effect... The properties of the explosive indicate the class into which it falls... An article containing a primary explosive substance and not containing two or more effective protective features... Propellant explosive substance or other deflagrating explosive substance or article containing such explosive substance... Secondary detonating explosive substance or black powder or article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance... or article containing a primary explosive substance and containing two or more effective protective features... Article containing a secondary detonating explosive substance without means of initiation... containing a secondary detonating explosive substance with its means of initiation... or article containing both an explosive substance and an illuminating... Article containing both an explosive substance and white phosphorus... Article containing both an explosive substance and flammable liquid or gel... Article containing both an explosive substance and a toxic chemical agent... Explosive substance or article containing an explosive substance and presenting a special risk... A high explosive compound detonates at rates ranging from 1... explosive chemical compounds may usefully... low levels of energy to initiate the final explosive material or main charge... explosive trains are as simple as a rifle cartridge... An explosive may consist of either a chemically pure compound... It is a primary high explosive in which sulfur is substituted for some or all phosphorus to slightly decrease sensitivity... polymer which can be a high or low explosive depending on nitration level and conditions... but a practical explosive will often include small percentages of other materials... Explosive compounds are also often... A chemical explosive is a compound or mixture which... yet the mixture is not an explosive since it does not evolve heat... the coal cannot be used as an explosive because the rate at which it yields this heat is quite slow... Rapidity of reaction distinguishes the explosive reaction from an ordinary combustion reaction by the great speed with which it takes place... three factors exist cannot be accepted as an explosive unless the reaction can be made to occur when desired... The usefulness of a military explosive can only be appreciated when these properties and the factors affecting them are fully understood... The relative sensitivity of a given explosive to impact may vary greatly from its sensitivity to friction or heat... Sensitivity is an important consideration in selecting an explosive for a particular purpose... The explosive in an armor... The explosive lenses around nuclear charges are also designed to be highly insensitive... is the ability of an explosive to be stored without... many explosive compounds that contain... as applied to an explosive refers to its ability to do work... Explosive power or performance is evaluated by a tailored series of tests to assess the material... A standard amount of explosive is loaded into a long hollow... A standard steel cylinder is loaded with explosive and detonated in a sawdust pit... transmitted into water by the detonation of cylindrical explosive charges of a standard size... minimum physical size a charge of a specific explosive must be to sustain its own detonation wave... The hydrodynamic theory of detonation used in predicting explosive phenomena does not include diameter of the charge... The rapidity with which an explosive reaches its peak pressure is a measure of its brisance... No test is capable of directly comparing the explosive properties of two or more compounds... of loading refers to the mass of an explosive per unit volume... the explosive may become more sensitive... It is possible to compress an explosive beyond a point of sensitivity... is the ability of an explosive to stand up under storage conditions without deteriorating... Volatility affects the chemical composition of the explosive such that a marked reduction in stability may occur... into an explosive is highly undesirable since it reduces the sensitivity... Any explosive of high toxicity is unacceptable for military use... Explosive product gases can also be toxic... Adoption of an explosive for a particular use is based upon both proving ground and service tests... Energy changes in explosive reactions are calculated either from known chemical laws or by analysis of the products... Products of an explosive remaining in a closed... Some of the important characteristics of an explosive that can be determined by such theoretical computations are... used to indicate the degree to which an explosive can be oxidized... If an explosive molecule contains just enough oxygen to convert all of its carbon to carbon dioxide... of an explosive are all somewhat dependent upon oxygen balance and tend to approach their maximums as oxygen... of formations for solids and gases found in explosive reactions have been determined for a temperature of 15... Consider the formation of the original explosive from its elements as an intermediate reaction in the formation of the products of explosion... In explosive technology only materials that are... C the volume of gas produced by the explosive decomposition of one mole of nitroglycerin becomes... of an explosive is the total work that can be performed by the gas resulting from its explosion... If the total heat liberated by an explosive under constant volume conditions... Explosive information and guides... Encyclodia Page On: Explosive
