Testing devices for detonics


ISL operates several test facilities allowing a wide variety of detonics experiments to be performed:

  • detonation bunker (6 kg TNT equivalent) equipped with multiple flash radiography and high-speed optical and digital imaging

  • detonation test chamber (2 kg TNT equivalent) for charges with fragmentation

  • detonation bunker (1 kg TNT equivalent) for high accuracy detonics studies equipped with flash radiography, optical and digital high-speed imaging, velocimetry (Doppler-laser, VISAR, ISL), pressure gauges and powder and electric guns for impact studies on energetic materials

  • a 105 mm powder gun position to generate impacts on high explosive materials within a very short distance to the gun muzzle

  • a test site for free-field explosions equipped with high-speed cameras, pressure and temperature measurements and time resolved spectroscopy
