OZM VELOREX PDV

The VeloreX PDV™ is an advanced instrument used for the measurement of the continuous velocity-time profiles of high speed moving objects. It can be used for the determination of various detonation properties of energetic materials as well as for any other tasks where high precision in velocity or displacement measurements are crucial. The VeloreX PDV is capable of tracking target velocities in order of kilometers per second with nanosecond time resolution. The measurement procedure is simple and robust with practically no constraints regarding the quality of the target surface. The use of the instrument is not limited to the characterization of explosives but includes ballistics, rocket motors, explosive welding, high energy physics, plasma physics, construction and engineering.

APPLICATIONS

The measurement of the velocity profiles of explosively accelerated materials can be used for inferring the key properties of the high explosives. Unlike the traditional Hess or Kast tests, which are used for the relative determination of brisance, the VeloreX PDV allows direct measurement without the need of an immediate comparison with standard samples. Compared to the piezoelectric pin or high-speed streak camera instrumentation, the VeloreX PDV offers dramatically increased measurement resolution. The VeloreX PDV is especially useful for civilian and military research and the development of explosives and explosive devices. It may also be employed in quality control or the qualification of ammunition. In the research of explosives the measurement of velocity profiles of explosively accelerated materials can be used for inferring key properties of high explosives such as detonation pressure, particle velocity, the Gurney energy and the parameters of Jones-Wilkins-Lee equation of state of detonation products.
