cleanup date November 2009 Unreferenced date May 2009 The safety testing of explosives involves the determination of various properties of the different energetic materials that are used in commercial, mining, and military applications. It is highly desirable to measure the conditions under which explosives can be set off for several reasons, including Safety in handling Safety in storage Safety in use It would be very difficult to provide an absolute scale for sensitivity with respect to the different properties of explosives . Therefore, it is generally required that one or more compounds be considered a standard for comparison to those compounds being tested. For example, PETN is considered ... sensitive secondary explosives. PETN may be detonated by striking with a hammer on a hard steel surface ... explosives are gauged. Another explosive that is used as a calibration standard is Trinitrotoluene TNT , which was afforded the arbitrary Figure of Insensitivity of 100. Other explosives could then be compared against this standard. Because there are different ways to set off explosives, there are several different components to the safety testing of explosives Impact testing.

Sensitivity of explosives is the degree to which an explosive can be initiated by impact mechanics impact , heat , or friction . ref Cite book title NAVSEA OP 5, Volume 1 publisher U.S. Navy ref Sensitivity, along with stability Disambiguation needed date August 2011 and brisance are three of the most significant properties of explosives that affect their use and application. All explosive compounds have a certain amount of energy required to initiate. If an explosive is too sensitive, it may go off accidentally. A safer explosive is less sensitive and will not explode if accidentally dropped or mishandled. However, such explosives are more difficult to initiate intentionally. Explosive train Less sensitive explosives can be initiated by smaller quantities of more sensitive explosives, called primers or detonator s, such as blasting cap s. The use of increasingly less sensitive explosive materials to create an escalating chain reaction is known as an explosive train , initiation sequence , or firing train . Classifications High explosives are conventionally subdivided into two explosives classes, differentiated by sensitivity Primary explosive s are extremely sensitive to mechanical Shock mechanics shock , friction, and heat, to which they will respond by burning rapidly or detonating. Secondary explosive s , also called base explosives , are relatively insensitive to shock, friction, and heat. References reflist Category Explosives explosive stub ru ... more details

The Faversham explosives industry Faversham , in Kent , England, has claims to be the cradle of the UK s explosives industry it was also to become one of its main centres. The first gunpowder plant in the UK was established in the 16th century, possibly at the instigation of Faversham Abbey . With their estates and financial endowment endowments monasteries were keen to invest in promising technology. The Faversham was well placed for the industry. It had a stream which could be dammed at intervals to provide power for watermill s. On its outskirts were low lying areas ideal for the culture of alder and willow to provide charcoal one of the three key gunpowder ingredients. The stream fed into a tidal Creek where sulfur sulphur , another key ingredient, could be imported, and the finished product loaded for dispatch to River Thames Thames side magazines. The port was also near the Continent where in warfare demand for gunpowder was brisk.

Explosives trace detectors ETD are security equipment able to detect explosive s of small magnitude. The detection can be done by sniffing vapors as in an explosive vapor detector or by sampling traces of particulates or by utilizing both methods depending on the scenario. Most explosive detectors in the market today can detect both vapors and particles of explosives. Devices similar to ETDs are also used to detect narcotic s. The equipment is used mainly in airport s and other vulnerable areas considered susceptible to acts of unlawful interference. Characteristics Sensitivity Sensitivity is defined as the lowest amount of explosive matter a detector can detect reliably. It is expressed in terms of nano grams ng , pico grams pg or femto grams fg with fg being better than pg better than ng. It can also be expressed in terms of parts per billion ppb , parts per trillion ppt or parts per quadrillion ppq . Sensitivity is important because most explosives have a very low vapor pressure and give out very little vapor. The detector with the highest sensitivity will be the best in detecting vapors of explosives reliably. Light weight Portable explosive detectors need to be as light weight as possible to allow users to not fatigue when holding them. Also, light weight detectors can easily be placed on top of robots.
