Standard Practice for Blast Testing

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice shall be followed for blast testing with an aim toward maximizing the consistency and repeatability between blast tests and test facilities. Specific requirements include test configuration, instrumentation, test result processing, data reductions, facility requirements, clearing effects, and fixturing or reaction structure design.

4.2 In this practice, inconsistencies in blast testing methodology are reduced and blast testing reporting (interpretation and documentation of blast results) is standardized. This improved consistency of practice will facilitate direct comparison of results, testing repeatability, and identification of trends.

4.3 This practice shall apply to blast simulator testing where applicable, including all aspects of the specification except those that are specific to open air explosive testing.

4.4 Uses—This practice in total is required for open air blast tests and applicable sections are required for blast simulator tests. Any deviation or exception to the practice should be addressed as early in the planning stage as possible and shall require written approval by the AHJ.
