DIN EN 16701
Energetic materials for defence - Safety, vulnerability - Friability; German version EN 16701:2014
Energetische Wehrmaterialien - Sicherheit, Verwundbarkeit - Sprödigkeit; Deutsche Fassung EN 16701:2014
Overview
This standard describes a method for assessing the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) risk of an explosive material subjected to a mechanical threat. Testing applies to any compact solid explosive material. The term friability covers the notions of fragmentation following mechanical stress and burning vivacity of the fragments. The document is derived from procedure SEN-216-01, promulgated by the Groupe d'Études des Modes Opératoires (French Test Procedures Study Group). The committee responsible for this standard is NA 140-00-22 AA "Technische Dokumente und Maschinenelemente (NABw TD/Ma)" ("Technical documentation and machine elements (NABw TD/Ma)") at DIN.
