Friction Sensitivity Tests (Qualitative). Two French tests are briefly described in Vol 1 of Encycl, p XIII. They are fully described in Refs 7 10 listed on p XIV. One Ger test is briefly described on p XIII and more fully in Refs 1, 2 6 listed on p XIV. The Brit test of Dupre is listed on p XIII, but its description is given in BurMinesBull 346(1931).

Explosive substances can therefore be classified into three main groups using the results of the impact and friction sensitivity tests. These classes are very sensitive , sensitive and comparatively insensitive . By using the results of the tests carried out on the Rotter Impact Machine, explosive materials can be categorized into these three classifications as shown in Figure 4.2.

Expls that do not freeze when exposed to temps as low ss 35°F(+ 1.67°) ore called LF(low-freezing), those not freezing at 0°F(—17.78°) are ELF(extra low-freezing) and those not freezing at lower temps are NF(non-freezing).

Suzuki, Kato, Fukuda et al. have conducted drop hammer sensitivity tests, friction sensitivity tests, and card gap tests on composite propellants that include nitramine 18 . The authors have conducted safety evaluations in cooperation with engineers from Nippon Oils and Fats Corporation to prove that no detonation propagation exist in composite propellants. We used new evaluating methods 11 131. The outline of our study follows. As new methods were constantly being adopted for the study, our tests were conducted on trial-and-error basis. All of the tests described here are not necessary for the evaluation of the detonating feature in composite propellants.
