National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Keto-RDX Delrapport 1: En Syntesbeskrivning och Preliminaera Kaenslighetsdata (Keto-RDX Report 1: A Description of Synthesis and Preliminary Sensitivity Data).

Publication Date	1994

Abstract	Keto-RDX is a substance which can be seen as a modified hexogen (RDX). The difference between the two molecules is that two hydrogen atoms in RDX has been exchanged for an oxygen atom. The synthesis path of keto-RDX is described, and comparative sensitivity studies are made with other high explosives. Keto-RDX is easy to produce in laboratory scale. The substance is more sensitive to impact and has a lower decomposition temperature than RDX, but preliminary sensitivity test results indicate that the substance is stable enough to be used in various explosive compositions. Results from sensitivity tests such as impact test, friction test, Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), chemiluminescense, microcalorimetry, temperature of ignition test, LI/MS (laser induced mass spectroscopy) and mass spectroscopy are presented.
