Ubbelohde also investigated some initiating mixts, such as ASA (Azide-Styphnate-Aluminum) - the standard British Service initiator (See Vol 1, p A493-R). He found that in this mixt LSt plays the predominant rSle in the heat sensitiveness, improving the thermal pick-up and lessening the tendency of LA to fail to detonate on heating... [Pg.474]

The initiating efficiency of the lead salt of 5,5 -azotetrazole exceeds that of other tested metallic salts, but it does not exceed that of standard composition lead azide/ lead styphnate/aluminum (ASA compound). The mercury salt was not tested because of the press fire problem [90]. The values of initiating efficiency are summarized in Table 8.16. [Pg.215]

Lead azide (PbN6) is a colorless to white crystalline explosive. It is widely used in detonators because of its high capacity for initiating secondary explosives to detonation. However, since lead azide is not particularly susceptible to initiation by impact, it is not used alone in initiator components. It is used in combination with lead styphnate and aluminum for military detonators, and is used often in a mixture with tetrazene. It is compatible with most explosives and priming mixture ingredients. Contact with copper must be avoided because it leads to formation of extremely sensitive copper azide. [Pg.51]

Shock initiation of lead azide by an electron beam has been compared with that of potassium dinitrobenzofuroxan (KDNBF), lead styphnate, and lead mononitroresorcinate (LMNR) [49], An aluminum slab was heated rapidly by electron deposition, generating a pressure pulse that propagated through the slab and was transmitted to a specimen bonded to its rear. The mean energy of the electrons was in the range of 900 keV and produced a stress pulse in the aluminum with a duration of approximately 0.2 psec. [Pg.283]
