• Battery charged instrument equipped by internal memory for storage of 100 results, 4-line LCD display and water-proof keyboard.

• Supplied accessories include optical extension line, optical probes, USB communication cable and software WinVOD for data acquisition.

• Impact resistant and water proof transport case.

• 7 independent timers measuring the time intervals between the illuminations of 8 optical probes.

• Simple operation.

This method is based on the ability of the optical fibre to accept a light signal when the detonation wave arrives, and to transmit that signal to suitable measuring equipment, which enables precise recording of the time interval between the two signals. From the measured time interval and the corresponding distance travelled by the detonation wave, the detonation velocity is calculated.

Laboratory detonation chambers are designed to withstand repeated detonations of up to 250 g TNT. The explosive charges are installed on a working table inside the chambers (KV-series) or hanged through the top lid (LDC-series) and safely fired by electric detonators connected to firing contacts. Gas-tight valves on the chamber body enable creating different gas atmospheres within the chamber, as well as sampling, evacuation and flushing of the post-explosion gases. The chambers are furthermore equipped with multiple ports, which can be used for installing various optical or electrical measuring instruments for investigations of the detonation processes.

Several full-scale performance and sensitivity tests can be safely executed within the chambers such as measurement of detonation velocity, pressure-time and temperature-time records of confined explosions, brisance and explosive power tests (Hess, Kast, PDT, Trauzl), high-speed optical and X-ray photography, gap tests, cookoff tests, electrostatic discharge sensitivity tests, large-scale thermal stability tests etc.

Pressing tools

Several sensitivity or performance tests (gap tests, brisance tests, detonation velocity, etc) require the use of samples of high explosives or pyrotechnics in a form of pressed pellets. OZM Research offers a wide range of pressing tools for preparation of the charges, ranging from 5 mm to 100 mm charge diameter and creating pellets with flat surfaces, detonator entries, central holes or conical shapes. We can also provide a complete pressing station equipped with remote control hydraulic press and installed within an explosion-proof bunker. Design of the pressing tools and complete station originates from long-term experience with these manufacturing tools in the explosives and ammunition industry.

During more than 40 years of service, these industrial detonation chambers have proven to have a long service life (> 100,000 detonations) and reliable, safe and simple operation with low investment and operating costs. The industrial detonation chambers are manufactured in two design lines – vertical and horizontal – both equipped with hydraulic systems, control panels for fully automatic remote operations and, where required, with appropriate pollution abatement systems for off-gases. Electrical and optical measuring equipment for investigation of the explosion processes can be installed in the multiple ports at the chamber body.

Operation of EXPLO5 is simple and the program run starts with only one edit window. The easy and intuitive program operation can be viewed via the screenshot of the EXPLO5’s edit window below.

EXPLO5

Instrumentation for pressure and heat flux measurement inside detonation chamber

APPLICATION

is a thermo-chemical computer code that predicts detonation properties (such as composition of detonation products, detonation velocity, pressure, temperature, heat, etc) of high explosives, and combustion properties of propellants under constant volume or constant pressure conditions (such as composition of combustion products, pressure in closed vessel, heat and temperature of combustion, specific impulse, force, etc). As such, EXPLO5 is important tool in synthesis, formulation, and numerical modelling of energetic materials.

The calculation of detonation parameters in EXPLO5 is based on the chemical equilibrium, steady-state model of detonation.

The equilibrium composition of detonation products is calculated applying free energy minimization technique.

The program uses Becker-Kistiakowsky-Wilson (BKW) and JacobsCowperthwaite-Zwisler (JCZ3) equations of state for gaseous detonation products, and Murnaghan equation of state for solids products.

The program is designed so that it enables the calculation of chemical equilibrium composition and thermodynamic parameters of state

along shock adiabate of detonation products, the CJ state and detonation parameters at the CJ state, as well as parameters of state along the expansion isentrope.

It uses non-linear curve fitting subroutine to fit relative volumepressure data along expansion isentrope according to Jones-WilkinsLee (JWL) model, enabling the calculation of detonation energy available for performing mechanical work.

For the calculation of combustion performances under constant pressure or under constant volume conditions, the program uses the ideal gas or the virial equation of state. The virial coefficients of individual gaseous species are calculated from the intermolecular potential equations.

EXPLO5’s database contains 32 chemical elements, about 270 reactants, and more than 300 products being in different phase states.

THE EXPLO5 SOFTWARE IS DEVELOPED

BY DR. MUHAMED SUCESKA.

CLOSED VESSELS

STOJAN VESSEL

NV SERIES

SV-2 • Determination of ignition and burning parameters of energetic materials in closed vessel up to 20 ccm volume.

APPLICATION

INTERIOR BALLISTIC TESTS

Closed Vessels NV series are used for measuring of pressure increase during burning of sample (powder, compact materials, and igniters) in constant volume. Obtained results (max. pressure, burning time, ignition delay time, pressure gradient, pressure rise time, burning rate etc) serve for quality control, safety testing, research and development of energetic materials including primary explosives, propellants and pyrotechnic substances.

Complex solution usually involves customized ignition and measurement control unit named EDA (Electro-explosive Device Analyzer). EDA usually contains adjustable pulse constant current source (for ignition or safety testing), safety switch, ignition current and voltage measurement, pressure rise measurement and PC communication. Typical application is testing (with controlled supply and measurement) of electric initiators like squibs, fuses, etc.

• Simpler and cheaper possibility for determination of ballistic properties of small-caliber gun powders.

CLOSED VESSELS

RB SERIES • Measurement of ballistic parameters of gun propellant in closed vessel up to 700 ccm volume.

APPLICATION Closed Vessel RB series is used for the measuring of pressure increase curve during burning of the different gun propellant types in constant volume. Behavior of propellant is predicted (e.g. max pressure, vivacity, pressure gradient, covolume, burning rate, etc).

Thus, by using the Closed Vessel, the number of shots from a real weapon is minimized. Data obtained from tests in the Closed Vessel are also necessary for the development of new propellants and for the control of regular produced powder types.

APPLICATION Determination of burning rate of solid rocket propellants is usually carried out in a Strand Burner or in a sub-scale rocket motor at constant pressures. With Strand Burner, about 10 individual shots are necessary to get the required burning rate plot in the whole pressure range, while using very complicated and expensive instrumentation.

The newly developed Stojan Vessel is a much simpler and safer instrument applying advanced mathematical procedure for calculation of pressure dependency of burning rate from experimental data of a single shot only. The mathematical procedure has proved to be in very good correlation with experimental results from multiple-shot measurements in the Strand Burner or in the sub-scale rocket motor.

FEATURES • Quick assessment of burning rate of new or modified rocket propellant formulations in their research, development and testing.

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE OF LIQUID AND SOLID CHEMICALS

SELF HEATING SUBSTANCES TESTER

AIT 551

SHT 150

VAPOURS

• Self-heating test characterizes ability of substances to self oxidative heating and decomposition. This test is based on the determination of exothermal decomposition of sample directly exposed to hot air at elevated temperatures.

• This temperature is an important parameter for determining the physical and chemical properties according to Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) regulation (European CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).

APPLICATION Autoignition temperature is the lowest temperature at atmospheric pressure which a substance burst into flame with the absence of an external source of ignition (spark or flame). It is the lowest temperature to which a combustible mixture must be raised, so that the rate of heat evolved by the exothermic oxidation reaction will overbalance the rate at which heat is lost to the surroundings and cause ignition. This property of the substance must be known for especially plants or technologies where there are high temperature of operation. In addition, this property identifies the possible ignition source in technological units under operating conditions.
