Abstract

This paper describes research on the testing of small sized point focal shaped charges. They were manufactured from composite-B, Semtex and pressed RDX, binary explosives, and emulsions. As the liner and the whole structure of the charges were identical, the mild steel penetration test was a clear method for comparing and quantifying their performance. The target setup was also standardized with different steel discs. During testing, it was realized that this was a practical development tool, to find the proper mixture for binary explosives. Since most of the shaped charge literature related to their evaluation was rather detailed theoretical work, the goal was to develop a simple, yet productive performance testing method that is more suited to practical field works.
