Details of most of these are available to the reader of the project reports (q.v.1 .6 Important conclusions are that the tests, as described, reliably detect detonation and, equally reliably, nondetonation.. Low velocity detonations are probably included in the latter. The results have been proven to be independent of either temperature or pressure. For example, incidental tests demonstrated that MDF detonates with a velocity invariant with temperature. In summary, the authors present the procedure described in this , report with confidence that, if used as described, it will serve as a useful. worthy supplement to the Liquid Propellant Test Method No. 1.

ADAPTATION OF THE JANAF BOOSTER TEST: DATA REDUCTION<br />

The equation for reducing the data from the witness plates is<br />

derived as f,ollows. Assume the following:<br />

1.. There is a small, finite, but reproducible time for a<br />

detonation to propagate across explosive interfaces.<br />

This is frequently referred to as an "induction time."<br />

2. The time required for two detonatiols originating at a<br />

common point <strong>and</strong> meeting at a point x is the same for<br />

two corresponding paths.<br />

3. The detonation velocity of explosives is a reproducible<br />

function of environment..<br />

The nomenclature used in the equation is as follows:<br />

P = lengths of MDF; the subscript denotes the particular branch<br />

Fb = length of MDF from tetryl booster than initiates the<br />

explosive on witness plate<br />

V = detonation velocity of any P <strong>with</strong> corresponding subscript<br />

Vs =<br />

wave velocity <strong>with</strong>in sample<br />

V = detonatlon veloclty of st<strong>and</strong>ard explosive used<br />

W<br />

L = distance between opposing points of inltiation for each<br />

sheet explosive finger<br />

x = 'point at which detonations meet; measured from MDF<br />

ds' = distances between MDF on sample cup<br />

dw' = distances between corresponding strips of explosive on<br />

witness plate<br />

ds = distance from tetryl pellet for first MDF<br />

dw = distance from the start to strip 1 on witness plate<br />

k,T( = small, unknown, but reproducible delay or induction times<br />

in transition from cup to MDF <strong>and</strong> MDF to EL-506-D
