IHE DDT Qualification Tests (FY2020-FY2021)
A DDT tube test was designed to meet all requirements established in the new DOE IHE qualification standard. Ten tests were successfully executed with PBX 9502 as a demonstration of the design, assembly, heating system, and methods, and to establish a baseline set of test results with an existing IHE. The explosive response in all tests was low violence (as anticipated). This report contains detailed design drawings, assembly instructions and procedures for future execution of the qualification test series, and makes recommendations for minor improvements.
