2 results about "TNT equivalent" patented technology

TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion. The "ton of TNT" is a unit of energy defined by that convention to be 4.184 gigajoules, which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms or one megagram) of TNT. In other words, for each gram of TNT exploded, 4,184 joules (or one large Calorie = 1,000 calories) of energy are released.

A method for TNT equivalent assessment based on implosion quasi-static pressure

This invention discloses a TNT equivalent evaluation method based on implosion quasi-static pressure. It proposes a design method for an implosion test chamber, in which an implosion test is performed on the explosive under test. The TNT equivalent of the explosive is then evaluated based on the measured peak quasi-static pressure, ensuring that the measured quasi-static pressure is approximately equal to the total energy released by the explosion of the explosive. The TNT equivalent obtained from this evaluation is scientifically reasonable, with high testing accuracy and good result stability. Furthermore, the test chamber contains sufficient oxygen to ensure the complete reaction of non-ideal explosives that require oxygen for the reaction. Therefore, this invention is not only applicable to the testing of ideal explosives but also to the testing of non-ideal explosives such as aluminum-containing explosives, thermobaric explosives, and thermobaric charges that require oxygen for the reaction.
