Impact Sensitivity (Layer or Deposit)
Impact Sensitivity (Layer or Deposit) : The objective of this test is to determine the easiness of an explosive to detonate as a shock effect. The used device basically consists of a base supporting two vertical guides to drive the drop of a hammer. On the base, between the two guides, the anvil is set and the sample is placed on it ready to receive the hammer hit.
