Munition storage structures are equipped with lightning protection systems in order to prevent accidental initi-ation of munition due to lightning flash strikes. The effect of lightning strikes on munition storage sites is being studied extensively by the Dutch MoD, DNV, and TNO, and comprises site reviews, risk assessments, and numer-ical...

The effect of lightning strikes on munition storage sites is being studied extensively by the Dutch MoD, DNV, and TNO, and comprises site reviews, risk assessments, modelling of storage sites and understanding of the link with munition sensitivity. This paper focuses on one specific part of the study: the munition sensitivity to electromagnetic...

To ensure safety and reliability, it is important that the explosives and other materials used in munitions do not interact adversely either physically or chemically. Data obtained by heat flow calorimetry on nitrocellulose-based propellants have been reviewed with the aim of identifying improved chemical compatibility assessment criteria. It...

Accelerated aging studies were performed with novel nitrocellulose based porous pyrotechnic compositions comprising carbonate salts with stabilizing properties. The goal of these studies was to predict whether the compositions would meet specific safe shelf life requirements. In this prediction the Arrhenius equation of STANAG 4582 for safe...

Tijdens een oefening in het Stroesche Zand (Gelderland) is een Nederlandse militair ernstig gewond geraakt door de ontbranding van een DM25 rookhandgranaat ter hoogte van zijn middel. Naar aanleiding van het ongeval is een Defensie Commissie van Onderzoek (CvO) ingesteld. De CvO heeft onder andere als doelstelling de mogelijke oorzaak van het...

New obscurant compositions are needed with a performance that is comparable to currently used compositions, based on environmentally benign ingredients, and with a low toxicity of the reaction products. A variety of compositions were prepared; small scale performance tests were carried out at 20°C and 35 or 60% relative humidity in a 2 m3...

CEMCAP is an international R&D project under the Horizon 2020 Programme preparing the ground for the large-scale implementation of CO2 capture in the European cement industry. This paper concerns the performance modeling of membraneassisted CO2 liquefaction as a possible retrofit application for post combustion CO2 capture. For the relatively...

A key-technique for the research of energetic materials is scanning electron microscopy. In this paper several examples are given of characterization studies on energetic materials, including a solid composite propellant formulation. Results of the characterization of energetic materials using scanning electron microscopy comprise the...

The influence of an explosion-driven deformation on the defect structure in RDX crystals embedded in a polymer-bonded explosive was investigated by means of confocal scanning laser microscopy. The images were compared to the defect structure in the as-received RDX grades, embedded

An explosive composition, derived from AFX-757, was systematically varied by using three different qualities of Class I RDX. The effect of internal defect structure of the RDX crystal on the shock sensitivity of a polymer bonded explosive is generally accepted (Doherty and Watt, 2008). Here the response to a mechanical non-shock stimulus is...

There are two main routes for amine emission. The first one is connected to volatile amine emission. The second route is amine emission via aerosols. Recently, it has been observed that under certain conditions and at specific test locations significant aerosol formation and emission can occur. To distinguish between the two routes for amine...

In an attempt to further contribute to the characterization of explosive compositions, small scale Floret tests were performed using four RDX grades, differing in product quality. A Floret test provides a measure – by indentation of a copper block – of detonation spreading or the initiability and shock wave divergence and is applied in...

This report provides an inventory of the pistols and fuzes found in Dutch soil. The numbers are based on a PLANON digital database query, a questionnaire to (former) EOD personnel and a database search for bombardments on cities and airfields. The anticipated sensitivity to vibrations is given. Ageing of the energetic materials and mechanical...

Subgroup A Energetic Materials Team, SG/A (EMT), develops and maintains standards that are relevant to all life-cycle phases of ammunition/weapon systems. STANAG 4147 is the standard regarding chemical compatibility of explosives with munition components, and is a document of prime importance. Currently the 3rd edition of STANAG 4147 has been...

In chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear protective clothing, a layer of activated carbon material in between two textile layers provides protection against hazardous gases. A cylinder in cross flow, sheathed by such material, is generally used to experimentally test the garment properties. This is, however, complicated and predictive...

Submicrometer-sized RDX and HMX crystals were produced by electrospray crystallization and submicrometer-sized RDX crystals were produced by plasma-assisted crystallization. Impact and friction sensitivity tests and ballistic impact chamber tests were performed to determine the product sensitivity. Rather than reflecting the quality of the...

Three batches of the commercial energetic material RDX, as received from various production locations and differing in sensitivity towards shock initiation, have been characterized with different microscopic techniques in order to visualize the defect content in these crystals. The RDX crystals are embedded in an epoxy matrix and cross-sectioned...
