תיאור
The BAM Fall Hammer (also known as BAM Impact Tester or Drop Hammer) is designed to determine the sensitivity of high explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics and primary explosives to the impact stimuli of a fallen drop weight in accordance with the BAM procedure.
The BFH-12A is equipped with an automated lifting mechanism for remote controlled positioning, dropping and collection of the drop weight. The BFH-12A boasts a unique Drop Weight Exchange Window for safer, quicker and more convenient exchanges of the drop weights.
APPLICATION
The sensitivity to impact stimuli is one of the most important characteristics of energetic materials defining their safety in handling, processing or transportation. Its determination is a necessary part of characterization of new explosives, modified formulations or manufacturing conditions, as well as for defining influences of impurities or ageing. It is also used in quality control of manufactured explosives, surveillance of in-service explosives and transport/storage classification of explosive materials.
