Abstract:TNT equivalency tests were conducted on Nitroglycerine. One-, two-, and four-pound charges were ignited with various size boosters ranging from a number 6 blasting cap to 127 grams of C4 explosive. In one case a hot wire was successfully used to detonate the nitroglycerine sample. Pressure and positive impulse was measured in the scaled distance range of 4 to 50 rft/l bl3 Peak pressure TNT equivalency ranged from 240 to 80 percent in that scaled distance range and the impulse TNT equivalency ranged from 190 to… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
