Organisation profile
Organisation profile
This research unit aims to investigate existing or novel explosive and propulsive formulations. The research focusses on both the safety features (sensitivities, stability, compatibility) and the performances (detonics for high explosives or propulsive properties for gun and rocket propellants) of the formulations.
The unit has the required facilities and the standard testing equipment to prepare various explosive formulations and charges and to test them for their sensitivities, stability, performances and detonic properties. Some of the testing procedures are covered by an ISO17025 accreditation.
