Linear Correlation Between Confined Explosive Quantity and Dent Volume of an Underlying Aluminium Block Using the SSRT Setup

The SSRT setup gives smart access to test various properties of explosive materials and requires only little substance quantities. Unlike the standardized SSRT, we studied bulge development from blast different amounts PETN (200–1300 mg). corresponding aluminum blocks was evaluated with help a profilometer (Keyence VR-5200). This device, which measures volume dents using offset structured light projected on object, has allowed us analyze differences precisely. Despite experimental limitations resulting undirected explosion direction, throughout linear correlation between respective dent depth could be determined. Our study thus forms an illustrative how behavior, represented by block, compressed energetic behaves in increasing filling quantity, is transferable larger setups as well other explosives.
