What is BS EN 16701- Energetic materials for defence about?
BS EN 16701 discusses energetic materials for defence. This international standard discusses the safety, vulnerability, and friability of solid explosive materials.
BS EN 16701 describes a method for assessing the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) risk of an explosive material subjected to a mechanical threat. Testing applies to any compact solid explosive material.
Who is BS EN 16701- Energetic materials for defence for?
BS EN 16701 on energetic materials for defence is useful for:
- Explosive manufacturers/suppliers/buyers
- Quality control personnel
- Health and safety bodies
Why should you use BS EN 16701- Energetic materials for defence?
Deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) refers to a phenomenon in ignitable mixtures of flammable gas and air (or oxygen) when a sudden transition takes place from a deflagration type of combustion to a detonation type of explosion.
BS EN 16701 provides you with a method to assess the risk of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) to explosive material subjected to a mechanical threat. BS EN 16701 provides you with the apparatus and test specimen required for the test procedure.
BS EN 16701 guides you with the test procedure and expression of results. BS EN 16701 helps you to maintain the safety of solid explosive materials.
