NASA
Safety Manual for Explosives, Propellants, and Pyrotechnics
.
NASA
Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field
A concise
reference handbook that provides the minimum requirements, both for Government
and contractor personnel, for the safe use, handling, and control of explosives
at the NASA Glenn Research Center. The document provides directives
for protecting personnel and property involved in explosive operations
at all levels from the hazards of explosives and explosive materials (including
solid and liquid propellants, oxidizers, pyrotechnic materials, and electro-explosive
devices).
Provides
key information for training and certification, supervisor responsibilities,
hazard assessments, placards and warning signs, and color coding.
Explains how to use the "two-person buddy system" when handling explosives.
Covers laboratory and experimental operations, range launch pads, static
test stands, cold-flow test operations, pipelines, and bulk storage.
Gives
specifications for special electrical bridge test equipment, blasting galvanometers,
circuit testers, "no-voltage tests." Describes siting requirements
for explosives storage, facility planning, transportation, storage compatibility
groups.
Covers
working with:
-
Initiating
explosives (black powder, lead azide, styphnates, fulminates, nitrocellulose,
etc)
-
Detonators
and similar initiating devices (blasting caps, explosive bolts, primers,
squibs, etc)
-
Bulk propellant
and propellant charges (smokeless powder, rocket motor solid propellants)
-
High explosives
(det cord, HMX, linear shaped charges, PETN, RDX, tetryl, TNT, etc)
-

ammunition
-
Incendiary,
illumination, lachrymatory, smoke, sound effect pyrotechnics
-
Cable cutters,
safety fuse, smoke pots
-
