APPLICATIONDetonation velocity is one of the main explosion parameter. The determination of the detonation velocity is based upon the measurement of the time interval needed for the detonation wave to travel a known distance through the explosive being tested.

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.

FEATURES • 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.

LABORATORY DETONATION CHAMBERS

Laboratory detonation chambers allow to safely carry out detonation experiments directly inside explosives laboratories. They can be used for scientific investigations, research, development and testing in the area of energetic materials, confined explosions and related applications such as explosive forming of metals or safe disposal of laboratory explosive wastes.

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, cook-off tests, electrostatic discharge sensitivity tests, large-scale thermal stability tests etc.

INDUSTRIAL DETONATION CHAMBERS

Industrial detonation chambers are automated machinery designed to withstand repeated detonations with equivalent of 2 - 16 kg TNT and applied in various programs, such as: • Large-scale or frequent scientific

detonation experiments.

• Quality control tests in explosives or ammunition manufacture.

• Explosive working of metals (hardening, cladding, welding, cutting, pressing).

• Environmentally friendly disposal of explosive wastes.

• Forensic investigation and safe disposal of improvised explosive devices.

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.

REMOTE CNC MACHINING FOR EXPLSOIVES AND ROCKET FUELS

XSM-01

APPLICATIONSampling of explosive materials from live ammunition and preparation of compact samples for mechanical, sensitivity or performance tests and sample preparation procedures are however one of the most dangerous operations with inherent risks of accidental explosions. OZM Research develops and supplies remotely operated multi spindle vertical and horizontal CNC machining units for cutting, milling, and drilling of energetic materials such as rocket propellants and high explosives in 4 axes. These techniques are typically used for: • Cutting of large rocket propellant grains to smaller blocks for

artificial ageing or mechanical properties tests.• Machining of the rocket propellant grains to obtain samples for

chemical stability testing (insulation, outer and inner surface and whole diameter – all in adjustable chip size).

• Precise sampling of the rocket propellants by automated drilling from predefined spots for plasticizer migration.

• Precise sampling of high explosives from the warheads and grenades by automated drilling in predefined spots (fine powder).

• Machining of the propellant blocks to “dog-bones” or other specific shapes for mechanical, sensitivity and performance tests (gap tests, spark tests, Stojan vessel tests).

• Machining of ammunition parts as a part of disassembling process.

FEATURES• CNC units XSM-01 are developed with consideration of all risky

situations leading to accidental initiation such as excessive friction on moving parts, electric or mechanical sparks and hot surfaces.

• All the electrical components used are appropriately protected, hard friction areas or moving contacts of sparking metals are minimized, explosive dust is continuously removed, temperature of tools are continuously measured and operation carefully observed by cameras, fire detectors and fire extinguishers.

• System is installed in explosion-proof bunker, with support of technological container and control room. Auxiliary equipment is located in nearby buildings or mobile containers.

DETAILS OF SAMPLING

• CNC machining system XSM-01 was developed as an integral part of research & development, quality control and surveillance programs for new, regularly manufactured or in-service energetic materials and ammunition.

SOFTWARE FOR CALCULATION OF DETONATION PARAMETERS

EXPLO5 CURRENT VERSION: 6.02

EXPLO5 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 Jacobs-Cowperthwaite-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 volume-pressure data along expansion isentrope according to Jones-Wilkins-Lee (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.

PRODUCT DATA

CURRENT VERSION: 6.02Operation 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.

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.

OZM can supply all equipment and procedure for sample preparation and conditioning for both SV-2 and TRM-35 instruments (hydraulic press, pressing tools, molds for casting, cutting machines, cutting tools, temperature and climatic chambers, etc).

MEASUREMENT OF MINIMUM IGNITION ENERGY OF DUST DISPERSIONS

MIE-D 1.2

APPLICATIONThe minimum ignition energy of dust dispersions is the key parameter for an assessment of the hazard situation in this plants establishing the extent and, hence, the cost of protective measures. A MIE test determines the amount of energy required for an electric spark to cause a tested dust dispersion sample to initiate. This testing method is essential part of a standard set of tests used by certified bodies, Universities and other research organizations to characterize the dust.


• EN 13821:2002 Potentially explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection - Determination of minimum ignition energy of dust/air mixtures

FEATURES• Standard measurement on only seven pre-set energy levels up to

1 J, optionally on user specified level in the range of 1 mJ to 3 J.• MIE-D 1.2 could by equipped by the measurement of the real spark

energy.• Two mode of spark triggering: high-voltage switch

or moving electrode.• Pneumatically operated and automatically controlled instrument.• Resistant stainless steel case.

PRODUCT DETAILS

• The minimum ignition energy (MIE) of a combustible substance is the lowest value of the electrical energy stored in a capacitor, which upon discharge, just suffices to ignite the most readily ignitable fuel/air/mixture at atmospheric pressure and room temperature.

APPLICATIONExplosion chambers are used for measurement of basic explosion characteristic of flammable dusts, gases and vapors. These characteristics are maximum explosion pressure, maximum rate of pressure rise, lower and upper explosibility limits and limiting oxygen concentration. Two sizes of explosion chamber are setup by international standards for dust explosion – 1 m3 (our CA 1M3) and 20 l (our CA 20L). The explosion chamber for gas and vapor has to be larger than 5 l so CA 20l is recommended.Testing methods using our CA 1M3 and CA 20L are essential part of standard are essential part of a standard set of tests used by certified bodies, Universities and other research organizations to characterize the dust, gas and vapors. Design of mitigating and protective measures, such as explosion venting device, automatic suppression or partial inerting, without knowledge of these explosion parameters is unimaginable.

FEATURES• Fully automated and remote-controlled machinery.• Robust design with 30 barg of operating and 40 barg of testing

pressures.• Under customer´s requirements could be equipped with heating

for measurements under elevated temperatures up to 200 °C.


• EN 14034 (1-4) sets up 1 m3 explosion chamber (our CA 1M3) as a standard instrument for measurement of maximum pressure, rate of pressure rise, lower explosion limit (LEL) and limiting oxygen concentration (LOC) of dust dispersions. 20 l sphere (our CA 20L) is an alternative of 1 m3 explosion chamber given by EN 14034 (1-4)

• Both CA 1M3 and CA 20L could be delivered with instrumentation for measurement of explosion parameters of gases and vapors according to EN 15967 (maximum pressure and rate of pressure rise), according to EN 14756 (LOC) and EN 1839 (explosion limits)

• 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).

APPLICATIONAutoignition 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.

FEATURES• Possibility of testing auto-ignition temperature of substances into

850 °C (1 562 °F).• Detection of the homogeneity of the temperature on the surface of

the test flasks using three thermocouples and temperature inside the flask.

• Automatic regulation temperature around test flask.• Uniform heating of the flask tested by circulating hot air in the oven.• Accurate batching of the liquid.• Evaluation of temperature records using the software.• Resistant stainless steel case.
