The purpose of this apparatus is to test sensitivity of certain powders to electrostatic discharge (spark). A charged electrode is lowered into the material under test.
This tester is for small amounts of materials, as described in MIL-STD-1751A. The title is “Safety and Performance Tests for the Qualification of Explosives (High Explosives, Propellants, and Pyrotechnics).”
This tester will charge a capacitor to a high voltage. Upon command, the electrical energy will discharge, in the form of a spark, to an electro-explosive device.
This tester, operating at 27 MHz, puts three to five watts into an electric squib or electric blasting cap, to test its ability to withstand the stimulus…
RF Tester for RF-Resistant Electro-Explosive Devices
This is a hand-held tester for field use. It clips onto the leads of an EED. It will indicate whether the EED contains a capacitor across the bridgewire…
Constant-Power Tester For Electro-Explosive Devices
This apparatus is for bench testing sensitivity of nonlinear EEDs. It is very useful in determination of no-fire power levels of semiconductor-bridge (SCB) initiators.
The purpose of this tester is to demonstrate the adequacy of design protection from hazards of induced electrical energy in the grounding system from lightning strikes.
This chamber is made of heavy steel, with fluorescent lights inside and ports for lead wires and camera. For operator safety, there is a door-switch controller.
This fireset will produce a firing pulse that is adjustable from 2 to 10 milliseconds. The constant current is adjustable over a range from 2 to 6 amperes.
