Blast wave measurements from detonating spherical 8.4 kg Comp B charges
Abstract
Air blast wave measurements were made at distances 4 to 17 m from detonating 8.4 kg spherical Comp B charges suspended at 0.75 and 1.0 m over a plain ground surface. Pressure-time histories, peak pressures, durations and impulses are presented. A comparison between similar measurements from detonating TNT-charges is also made, but no general conclusions can be drawn except for variations of distance.
