Integrated Data Analysis (IDCA) Program - PETN Class 4 Standard

[摘要] The Integrated Data Collection Analysis (IDCA) program is conducting a proficiency study for Small- Scale Safety and Thermal (SSST) testing of homemade explosives (HMEs). Described here are the results for impact, friction, electrostatic discharge, and differential scanning calorimetry analysis of PETN Class 4. The PETN was found to have: 1) an impact sensitivity (DH₅₀) range of 6 to 12 cm, 2) a BAM friction sensitivity (F₅₀) range 7 to 11 kg, TIL (0/10) of 3.7 to 7.2 kg, 3) a ABL friction sensitivity threshold of 5 or less psig at 8 fps, 4) an ABL ESD sensitivity threshold of 0.031 to 0.326 j/g, and 5) a thermal sensitivity of an endothermic feature with T_min = ~ 141 ?��C, and a exothermic feature with a T_max = ~205?��C.
