The second advantage of CT is its ability to generate a full three-dimensional (3D) image of a bag and its contents. The 3D image takes the form of a data set of the density values for each point in a bag specified by the three rectangular coordinates x, y, and The 3D density image allows computer software to isolate every object in the bag from its neighbors and to test each one for properties of explosive materials.

The physicochemical properties of explosives are fundamentally equivalent to those of propellants. Explosives are also made of energetic materials such as nitropolymers and composite materials composed of crystalline particles and polymeric materials. TNT, RDX, and HMX are typical energetic crystalline materials used as explosives. Furthermore, when ammonium nitrate (AN) particles are mixed with an oil, an energetic explosive named ANFO (ammonium nitrate fuel oil) is formed. AN with water is also an explosive, named slurry explosive, used in industrial and civil engineering. A difference between the materials used as explosives and propellants is not readily evident. Propellants can be detonated when they are subjected to excess heat energy or mechanical shock. Explosives can be deflagrated steadily without a detonation wave when they are gently heated without mechanical shock. [Pg.89]

The explosives mentioned here are only a few selected from a long list of materials that can be used as explosives. This presents an unusual detection challenge. The chemical and physical properties of explosives vary widely, so it is a challenge to design a sensor that can detect all explosives equally well. One such property is the equilibrium vapor pressure of explosives. From Figure 7.1, which is a plot of the equilibrium vapor pressures of selected explosives at 25°C,... [Pg.154]
