BAM 50/60 steel tube test

Table 1.8 Hazards of Reactive Chemicals evaluated by the Pressure Vessel Test (PV), Mkm Ballistic Mortar Test (MkHI), BAM 50/60 Steel Tube Test (50/60), Test of Deflagration Violence (DF), and SADT Test (SADT)...

The BAM 50/60 steel tube test, the TNO 50/70 steel tube test, and the gap test of the America Bureau of Mines are well-known 5). These methods are useful to assess detonation-propagation and are described in the earlier book 1 . ... 

We carried out a BAM heat accumulation test on a mixture of HCH and cellulose C at a ratio of 3 1 for a period of one week at 40 °C. During this time, we did not observe self-accelerated heat generation. We conclced that an unexpected generation of heat does not occur during the preparation of the mixture for the 50/60 steel tube test. 

There are, in general, two types of detonation tests [10,22,24]. In one type of test, the propagation of a detonation shock wave is determined. Examples of methods for this test are the BAM 50/60 test [139], the TNO 50/70 steel tube test [120], and the USA GAP test for solids and liquids [140,141].
