We report the results of a study to investigate the effect of aluminium on the impact sensitiveness of a range of Ammonium Nitrate-Fuel Oil (ANFO) mixtures. The data obtained indicate that the impact sensitiveness of these mixtures depends on the qua

The BAM Fallhammer test is one of the most widely used impact tests, but the results of the test rely on the subjective assessments of the test operator using the senses of hearing, smell and sight. The paper describes an investigation into the suita

Several different test methods can be used to determine the sensitiveness of an explosive or energetic material to initiation by friction. In this paper we examine the results for seven explosives obtained using three commonly used friction test meth

The Critical Oxygen Index test is widely used as a measure of the flammability of many substances. This paper reviews attempts that have been made to compare Oxygen Index values with the results from other fire tests. Varying degrees of correlation a

Measured Critical Oxygen Index values at 40°C for Opal polymethylmethacrylate (Perspex) sheet have been found to be remarkably dependent on the gas velocity within the column of the Hot Flammability Test Apparatus. Investigation of the atmosphere pr
