ioKinetic has the expertise to support your process safety testing needs to comply with local requirements.
The blasting cap (Detonability Go/No Go) test provides a means for assessing the sensitivity of a new composition to relatively intense impact. The tests are carried by placing the material for test in a test tube, then inserting a blasting cap in the open end of the test tube. A witness tube provides means for determining whether or not a propagating explosion was initiated and also provides means for comparing the energy release behavior of the composition being tested with that of better-known compositions. In this manner, it can be determined whether or not a certain sample is expected to propagate.
No current ASTM Standard exists for completing blasting cap (Detonability Go/No Go) tests. ioKinetic follows the procedure developed by S. Meyers of Arthur D. Little in Process Safety Progress (Vol. 20, No. 1) March 2001.
Approximately 15 ml of material is required.
