Detonation Chamber

KV-250 chamber can be used for a number of various experimental performance, sensitivity and stability tests of energetic materials involving their full-scale detonations.

Furthermore, the chamber can beused as a safe temporary storage vessel for newly synthesized and potentially unstable explosive samples, for safe destruction of explosive wastes or special applications (such as explosive forming of metals). Short non-exhaustive list of the typical test and related instrumentation follows:

Performance tests

Detonation velocity
Detonation pressure
Pressure-time measuremetns of confined explosions of condensed explosives, explosive dusts or aerosols
Temperature(heat flow)- time measurements of confinedd explosions
Brisance by lead block compression test (Hess test)
Brisance by Kast's method
Brisance by plate dent test
Brisance by sand test
Explosive power by lead block expansion test (Trauzl test)
Mass velocity of detonation products by flash X-Ray photography
Small-scale fragmentation test
Propagation of the shock wave using high-speed cameras
