ENMC-2 SENSITIVITY AND DETONATION PARAMETERS OF 4, 6-DIAZIDO-N-NITRO-1, 3, 5-TRIAZIN-2-AMINE Tomáš Musil*, Robert Matyáš*, Ondřej Němec*, Martin Künze* Abstract Highly dense nitrogen-rich compounds are potential high performance energetic materials for use in industrial scene or military. 4,6-Diazido-N-nitro-1,3,5-triazin-2- amine (DANT) is relatively a new substance on which characterization and detonation parameters were tested. The sensitivity of DANT to impact, friction and electric discharge was also determined. Sensitivity to impact is between PETN and RDX, sensitivity to friction is higher as PETN. DANT´s relative strength is 108 % of TNT. We also calculated and measured detonation parameters such as pressure and detonation velocity. Theoretical detonation parameters are 8 205 m.s-1 and 30.3 GPa. Temperature of autoignition is 156 °C. Keywords: 4,6-Diazido-N-nitro-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine; DANT, detonation parameters, sensitivity * Institute of Energetic Materials, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Studentska 95, 532 10 Pardubice, Czech Republic.

Copyright Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) 2014. All rights reserved. Dangerous Goods Handling Chapter 2: International Classification of Dangerous Goods Objectives This chapter will explain UN Transport regulations, its history and basis as model regulations for international classification system for other modes of transport. The linkage into the ASEAN Protocol 9 framework on the international carriage of dangerous goods in ASEAN will also be explained. 9 classes of dangerous goods classification shall be key content in this chapter. Other relevant basic terms such as Class, Division, Packaging Group (PG), UN Number (UNNO) and Proper Shipping Names (PSN) will also be covered. As supplement knowledge in classification of substances or mixtures that have more than one hazard, the explanation on precedence of hazard characteristics will be given. Basic hazard communication such as Labelling requirements, Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) or Multi-modal Dangerous Goods Form shall be explained. 1. Introduction 1.1 United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNTDG/UNRTDG) These Recommendations have been developed by the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods in the light of technical progress, the advent of new substances and materials, the exigencies of modern transport systems and, above all, the requirement to ensure the safety of people, property and the environment. They are addressed to governments and international organizations concerned with the regulation of the transport of dangerous goods.

  • Tnt Equivalence of C-4 and Pe4: a Review of Traditional Sources and Recent Data
    TNT EQUIVALENCE OF C-4 AND PE4: A REVIEW OF TRADITIONAL SOURCES AND RECENT DATA D. Bogosian1, M. Yokota1, S. Rigby2 1Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants, 360 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Ste 1090, El Segundo, CA 90245, USA; 2University of Sheffield, Department of Civil & Structural Engineering, Sir Frederick Mappin Building, Mappin Street, Sheffield, S1 3JD, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Since standard engineering-level blast models are typically developed to predict airblast parameters (pressure and impulse) from TNT bursts, prediction of airblast from other materials uses an equivalence factor by which an equivalent TNT weight is computed and used in the source term of the model. This approach is widespread in the industry and has been codified in numerous manuals, books, and papers. A recent effort co-sponsored by TSWG (U.S.) and FSTD (Singapore) collected and compiled equivalence data for a wide variety of explosive materials (both military grade as well as home-made) into a single software tool named STREET. The database thus assembled provides a comprehensive and expandable repository for equivalence data. Two of the main achievements in STREET are the consideration of equivalence as a function of scaled standoff (rather than a scalar), and the documentation of uncertainty in the estimated value. In this paper, we consider specifically the manual- and test-derived data related to Composition C-4, and as a first step, we draw some judgments regarding the equivalence implicit in blast curves provided by UFC 3-340-02, for both pressure and impulse. Next, we consider PE4, which is similar in composition to C-4 and is used widely in the UK.
