Characteristics of H.E. and H.E. systems. Quarterly report, July--September, 1964

Description: Data from sieve analyses of HMX and HMX recovered from LX-04-1 has been compiled for correlation to quality parameters. Particle size distributions on HMX received from LRL have been completed along with other HMX lots specified by them. Sieve analysis of recrystallized PETN was obtained using the now normal procedure for HMX. A statistical investigation of production LX-04-1 examined the dependence of density, elongation, and ultimate tensile strength on particle size distributions ({Pi}) and … more

Characteristics of H.E. and H.E. systems. Quarterly report, October--December, 1964

Description: Several samples of HMX to be used in LX-04-1 were particle sized and reported in this report. Most of the lots sized were very similar, with the major differences in the lots being at 2{micro}. Several counts in ``Rainbow`` Lot 26B of LX-04-1, made to obtain a color and weight distribution in several samples, and also a color count made in each sieve on a granulation analysis, show each color to be equally distributed; i.e., {approx} one-third of each color, green, yellow and white LX-04-1 gran… more

Development of improved H.E. adhesive systems. Quarterly report for April--June, 1964

Description: A heat aging study in which tensile specimens (aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-LX-04-1 with Aerobond H-7) were heated to 165 F and aged up to three months has been completed. Aerobond H-7 showed no signs of deterioration when treated in this manner. Butyl glycidyl ether and benzene were tested as diluents for Aerobond H-7; butyl glycidyl ether is an effective diluent but benzene appeared to promote an exotherm. Water permeabilities were remeasured for Adiprene, Aerobond H-7, and Estane to … more

Fulminant properties of high explosives equation of state studies. Quarterly report, January--March 1964

Description: This project consists of (1) essentially routine experimentation, including evaluation of detonation velocity, gap sensitivity testing, and drop weight-impact machine testing; and (2) an experimental program whose goal is the development of high precision one and two-dimensional hydrodynamic data for use in establishing empirical detonation product equations of state.

H.E. formulation. Quarterly report, July--September, 1964

Description: Emphasis was placed this quarter on the manufacture of extrudable explosives. This included the recrystallization of PETN which was used to manufacture two batches of LX-02-1 and one batch of RX-02-AK. The materials were examined for composition, extrudability and burning via detonation velocity. Also, a Sunburst and Sunray were performed on the first batch of LX-02 made. Results were all satisfactory except for detonation velocity; some of the channels were yielding somewhat erratic results wh… more

Physical properties of explosives. Quarterly report, January--March 1964

Description: This work is for the development of testing methods and determination of physical properties of H.E. formulations. An eight-cycle bulk compliance test on LX-04-1 produced a gain in density of 0.017 gm/cc from an average starting-density of 1.858 gm/cc, net gain of .810 gm/cc after one month storage. A group of tensile specimens were tested on three test machines in three locations (Baldwin at LRL, Instrom in Pantex Engineering and Tinius Olsen in Pantex Development), using specimens from a sing… more

Safety analysis of the C-1 Loop

Description: The C-1 Loop is a small in-reactor water loop located in the 105-C Building. The loop was originally designed and constructed for nonfueled testing of the effects of reactor radiation on sample corrosion, crud deposition, and coolant radiolysis. The loop was modified in 1964 to permit the irradiation of aluminum-clad fuel elements and subsequently used for about eight months for the in-reactor testing of aluminum-clad, plutonium-aluminum fuel assemblies at high coolant temperatures and pressure… more

Development test IP-646-D, irradiation service request HAPO 278, outgassing rate of tritium at high temperatures and hydriding corrosion of Zircaloy-2

Description: Objective of the KE reactor test is to determine the hydriding corrosion rate of Zircaloy-2 at high temperature in a damp helium atmosphere, and to determine the outgassing rate of tritium generated in a lithium-aluminum alloy. The irradiation capsule design, operating conditions, etc. are discussed.
