APPLICATION
When a sample of a new explosive or explosive mixture is prepared, it is commonly required to describe its detonation properties to make sure that they are consistent with preliminary calculations or reference literature values. The measurement of velocity profiles of explosively accelerated materials can be used for inferring key properties of novel high explosives. Unlike traditional but outdated Hess or Kast tests which are used for relative determination of brisance, PDV allows direct measurement without the need of immediate comparison with standard samples. Compared to the piezoelectric pin or high speed streak camera instrumentation, the OPTIMEX PDV offers dramatically increased measurement resolution. The usage of the OPTIMEX PDV system is not limited to explosives but includes high energy physics, ballistics, construction and engineering.
