Abstract:Reactive Metals International, Inc. (RMII), a fully owned subsidiary of Mach I Inc.has designed, built and tested a Pneumatic Impact Testing Apparatus (PITA) for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the impact ignition threshold energies for consolidated reactive materials. The PITA has proven to be an essential tool for routine, cost effective impact testing of reactive materials. The PITA can launch a spherical (0.375" diameter) steel projectile at energies ranging from 10 Joules to greater than 450 Joul… Show more
