What are Explosive Tests?
As the name suggests, explosive testing refers to the process of testing explosive devices and materials to determine their properties and behaviors. Explosive tests are critical to military operations because they allow experts and engineers to observe explosions and their aftermath in a controlled environment. The information gathered during explosive tests helps manufacturers do the following:
- Determine the environmental hazards created by the explosive
- Assess the explosive’s sensitivity to environmental factors like heat and dropping
- Ensure explosives perform as expected in
- Improve and optimize explosive designs
