Our standard 5- day Electroexplosive Device Training Course has been offered
at our location for the past 30 years. We can also present short courses in
Electroexplosive Safety, tailored to your particular needs, at your location.
We have made such presentations for more than 45 governmental and industrial
sponsors.
Titled Electroexplosives: Functioning, Reliability, and Hazards, this
course will be offered July 27-31,
2009, by Franklin Applied Physics. Major topics to be covered
include:
- definitions and
history of explosives
- types of pyrotechnics,
explosives and propellants
- types of EEDs
including semiconductor bridges, laser initiated devices, exploding
bridgewires, flying plate initiators, carbon bridges
- explosive trains and
systems, fuzes, safe-arm devices
- sensitivity and
functioning mechanisms
- EED statistics
including Bruceton and Langlie tests
- output and
applications
- safety versus
reliability
- hazard sources —
lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic energy (RF, EMP, light,
etc.), heat, flame, impact, vibration, friction, shock blast, ionizing
radiation, hostile environments, and human error
- precautions, safety
practices and Standard Operating Procedures
- thermal modeling of
EED firing characteristics
- accuracy, precision,
and repeatability of EED thermal parameter evaluation
- use of EED thermal
parameters in evaluation of lot-to-lot variation and quality control
- use of EED thermal
parameters in aging evaluations
- accuracy and
repeatability of Langlie and Bruceton evaluations
- evaluation of overall reliability
of EED firing circuits using measured thermal parameters and Monte
Carlo modeling procedures
Many of these subjects are in a state of maturing development; we
present not only background, but also state-of-the-art developments.
The emphasis of this course is safety through understanding of the
underlying physical phenomena. It is of particular benefit to EED
handlers, their supervisors, safety engineers, instructors, designers,
R&D personnel, quality control personnel, and inspectors.
Note: Our three-day Electroexplosive Device Training Course is no longer
being offered on schedule, but we can provide it or the 5-day course
described above at your location, or we can tailor a course to your
company’s specific needs. Contact us for details.
