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.

High Resolution Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for the Investigation of Decomposition Gases Generated by Aging Organic Materials.

SAND790935C

Publication Date	1979
Personal Author	Haaland, D. M.; Rivord, G. E.
Page Count	6
Abstract	A ten-year high explosives aging program is being conducted at Sandia. The goal of the program is to determine the long-term ambient temperature aging characteristics of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and hexanitrostilbene (HNS) in explosive components. Because of the limited supply of components and the desire to study the aging process at temperatures as close to ambient as possible, a sensitive, nondestructive technique such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is required. Of the major decomposition gases to be monitored (CO, CO sub 2 , H sub 2 O, NO, NO sub 2 , N sub 2 O, and N sub 2 ) only N sub 2 is not infrared active. Preliminary investigations of the FTIR method prior to its application to actual explosives are reported. (ERA citation 04:045310)
