Safety is a large component when testing gunpowder and explosives. Safety in handling, storage and use are all analyzed to examine potential threats. In addition to safety, gunpowder and explosives can and should be tested for performance, reliability and quality.
Gunpowder and Explosives Testing is a process that analyses the safety, characterization, performance, reliability and quality of gunpowder and explosives. Testing of these products is rigorous because small variations can have large impacts on energy output, safety and handling. The data from these tests can be used in marketing, labeling, workstation protection, shipping, compatibility, and more.
