Abstract

We have constructed a gas permeameter to measure the permeability of explosives that have been thermally damaged. We report on the calibration of the instrument, as well as measurements of the permeability of PBX 9501, a plastic bonded explosive. The limitations of this technique are shown, as well as the effects that crystalline phase transition, volumetric expansion, and chemical reaction have on the permeability of this material.
