shock sensitivity

The shock sensitivity of C-4 can be further reduced by how fine the nitramine particles are.

However even relatively insensitive explosives can be set off if their shock sensitivity is sufficient.

Testing showed the new explosive had far greater safety features like improved thermal and shock sensitivity.

Their excavation proceeds very slowly, sifting one cubic yard at a time, because of the explosives' shock sensitivity.

A shock sensitivity table is presented here to help fish culturists and biologists concerned about the potential impacts of disturbances to salmonid eggs.

Changes in mechanical shock sensitivity of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) eggs during incubation.

Nitroglycerine and guncotton were available earlier but shock sensitivity sometimes caused detonation in the artillery barrel at the time of firing.

Exudation of impurities leads to formation of pores and cracks (which in turn cause increased shock sensitivity).

It should give details on vapour control, shock sensitivity, corrosiveness, oxidising properties, and reactivity with common substances (air or water etc).

Determination of the shock sensitivity of a material intended for practical use is one important aspect of safety testing of explosives.

Shock sensitivity is a comparative measure of the sensitivity to sudden compression (by impact or blast) of an explosive chemical compound.

The shock sensitivity, also called gap sensitivity, which influences the susceptibility to sympathetic detonations, can be measured by gap tests.

You will hear a confirmation chirp telling you it is in programming mode. 2. Press button II to enter choosing shock sensitivity.

Comparison of mechanical shock sensitivity of eggs of five Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus) species and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri).

However given its large critical diameter and low shock sensitivity it is an ideal candidate for insensitive large calibre ammunition such as general purpose bombs, artillery shells, torpedo- and depth charges.

While pure nitroglycerin is also highly shock-sensitive and powerful, it was only due to phlegmatizers that its shock sensitivity was reduced and it became safer to handle and transport as dynamite.

Although smokeless powders were used as a propellant, they could not be used as the substance for the explosive warhead, because shock sensitivity sometimes caused detonation in the artillery barrel at the time of firing.

High egg mortality occurs even over fetches as short as 75 km suggesting that shock sensitivity may be a major factor limiting lake trout restoration and limiting the habitat in which spawning might be successful.

Much unlike CL-20 TEX is friction insensitive, bears a low impact sensitivity and possesses a very low shock sensitivity and large critical diameter making it an interesting explosive filler for insensitive munitions.

Despite no longer being used in any military application, and despite its shock sensitivity, HMTD remains a common home-made explosive and has been used in a large number of suicide bombings and other attacks throughout the world.

This results in a very low activation energy for its decomposition, a reaction made even more favorable due to the great stability of N. Nitrogen triiodide has no practical commercial value due to its extreme shock sensitivity, making it impossible to store, transport, and utilize for controlled explosions.
