Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of explosive testing equipment technology, specifically to an impact energy tester and testing method. Background Technology

[0002] Energetic materials such as solid or liquid explosives, propellants, and initiators possess characteristics such as high energy density and high mechanical sensitivity. During the preparation, processing, transportation, and application processes, external stimuli such as collisions, impacts, and drops can occur between materials and equipment, tooling, or contact surfaces, potentially triggering combustion and explosion accidents. Especially for energetic materials prepared using new materials, processes, formulations, or methods, impact energy testing is essential to determine their impact sensitivity.

[0003] Impact sensitivity is the degree to which energetic materials ignite or explode under mechanical impact, and it is an important indicator for assessing the safety of energetic materials. Currently, research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on impact sensitivity testing devices and methods for energetic materials. In China, the standards for impact sensitivity testing have been established, including GB / T 21567-2008 "Test Method for Impact Sensitivity of Dangerous Goods and Explosives," and GJB 772A-97 Method 601.1 Explosion Probability Method, Method 601.2 Characteristic Drop Height Method, and Method 601.3 Type 12 Tool Method. However, most domestic devices are based on the Castells impact sensitivity meter, which suffers from low automation, low testing accuracy, and poor safety, thus limiting the quantitative characterization of impact sensitivity of energetic materials and posing certain health hazards to testing personnel.

[0103] The impact energy tester of this invention adopts a human-machine isolation and remote operation mode. It only requires cleaning the equipment before testing, selecting and installing the standard impact block, and setting the lifting height of the impact block. The lifting and releasing of the impact block is completed by a servo motor and an electromagnetic release device. The test process is unmanned and has low safety risks.

[0104] The impact energy tester is based on the national standard GB / T 21567-2008 "Test Method for Impact Sensitivity of Dangerous Explosives" and the principle of the BAM impact sensitivity meter, and has been improved according to process requirements. A servo motor drives the impact block upwards, while an electromagnetic attraction force firmly grips the impact block. When the electromagnet is de-energized, the impact block falls freely downwards along a linear guide rail, applying energy to the sample to obtain the minimum combustion or explosion conditions for a reaction or change. The testing process requires no manual intervention and is highly automated.

[0105] The impact energy tester uses a gas detector to detect the NO component produced in the reaction and determine whether the sample has reacted. The test judgment is free from human subjective factors and has high accuracy.
