Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignition of pyrotechnic materials is a problem that has had relatively little attention over the years. However, many tests have been developed in an attempt to measure the ability of an energetic material to ignite from various sourcs. These tests range from the simple sensitivity/safety type tests (spark and impact sensitivity, ignition temperature, etc.) to the more complex techniques which measure the energy required for ignition (hot wire, laser, arc-image furnace, spark). These tests are examined in this report and comments on each of their advantages/disadvantages and their applicability to studying pyrotechnic ignition are made. (Author).
