Abstract

In this second part of a series of publications dealing with the application of the Robbins‐Monro method to the sensitivity testing of explosives, the experimental aspects are treated. The results of an experimental program with a primer drop‐test apparatus confirmed the efficiency which was concluded from the computer simulation study, also for extreme percentage points. Further a method is described to determine the reliability of the outcome after the execution of the Robbins‐Monro process. It is shown that for an efficient application of the Robbins‐Monro method the level distance which can be adjusted should be about 1/2 to 1/3 of the standard deviation (of a normal distribution) dependent on the percentage point.

## Abstract A computer simulation study of the Robbins‐Monro method is presented. This method can be used to determine percentage points of a distribution function describing the probability of explosion as a function of some stimulus level. Calculations were performed to establish the influence of

## Abstract An equipment used for testing the response of watergel explosives to weak shocks is described. The main purpose of these tests was to investigate the shock‐initiating hazards when pumping watergel explosives of the non‐cap‐sensitive type. The explosive sample (weight ∼ 20 g) was confine

## Abstract Process safety officials often place great emphasis on the results from tests to define various fire and explosion hazards inherent in dusts. These include the flammability, the autoignition temperature, the lower explosive limit, and sometimes the K~st~‐value which is a characteristic
