B. AP 110A-0102-1C Section A Leaflet A1

GENERAL

1. The overriding principle is that explosive ordnance is to be stored safely and
securely in the special accommodation provided.

2. Where suitable storage facilities are not adequately or are not immediately
available, the command concerned is to make temporary arrangements to
minimize the risk of life and property in the event of an explosion or fire and to
prevent deterioration of the stores.

CLASSIFICATION

3. The international system of classification is to be used for storage and
transportation of explosive ordnance in the TUDM.

4. Classification is only valid for serviceable explosive in their approved packages or
if unpacked when fitted into their approved transit devices.

WAR RESERVE

5. In order to preserve operation capability not more than 50 % of each item of war
reserve stock is to be stored in anyone danger building.

6. War reserved stock may be stored into more than two danger building where this
is reasonably possibly.

MAXIMUM NEQ

7. No explosive ordnance building is to contain more than 250,000 kg NEQ without
the prior authority of Ministry of Defense.

STORAGE

8. Explosive in any store or building are to be so arranged that they can be easily
identified.

CONTROL OF STOCK

9. To avoid unnecessary wastage of explosive ordnance, stock holders are to ensure
that the oldest stock is issued first.

236

TERHAD

TERHAD
10. All first issue stock are to be properly labeled and to be stock nearest to the

entrance or at the front of the stock.
11. The opened boxes and fraction boxes of the older are to be issued first.

HANDLING
12. Due precautions and care are to be observed when packing and loading or

unloading Explosive Ordnance.
13. Rough usage is liable to be the cause of malfunctions and roughly handled

packages are likely to be so damaged that they cannot properly protect their
contents.

FRACTION BOXES
14. Only one fraction box is allowed for each lot of explosive ordnance.
15. All fraction boxes are to be labeled with form TUB 20-0151(Small) or form TUB

20-0152 (Big) and the exact quantity to be annotated the boxes.

EMPTY BOXES
16. All empty boxes are to be labeled with form TUB 20-0154.

HAZARD CLASSIFICATION CODE

1. General. A hazard classification code is assigned to each item of explosive
ordnance to simplify the task of making regulations for safe storage and transport and
to such regulations by identifying packages or articles by a simple alpha numerical
code.

2. The hazard classification code consists of the number 1 denoting that it is an
explosive (class 1) and a second number indicating the hazard division or fire division,
followed by a letter denoting the compatibility group.

Eg. 1.2.1 D

1 - Class of Dangerous Goods
2 - Hazard Division or Fire Division
1 - Sub Hazard Division
D - Compatibility Group

FIRE DIVISIONS

3. For fire fighting purpose, explosive ordnance is divided in four fire divisions (fire
divisions 1,2,3 and 4)

4. Fire division 1 indicates the greatest hazard. The hazard decreases with
ascending fire division numbers.

5. Under the UN classification system the fire division identification is the second
number of the hazard classification code, eg : fire division 1 for EO of HCC 1.1D

1 Mass Detonating

2 Explosion with Projection Hazard

CLASSIFICATION OF MILITARY EXPLOSIVES FOR STORAGE

Reference:

A. MU 403-3042-000-01-02 (AP 110A-0102-1C) Section A Leaflet A2

Introduction

1. This leaflet provides information on the classification of military explosives (see
Definitions - IA) for those personnel involved in the storage and transportation of
military explosives.

2. Additional information is provided in the Annexes to this leaflet.

Classification of Explosives

3. Safety in storage and transportation is based on the assignment of military
explosives into various Hazard Divisions and Compatibility Groups. This is
essential in order to control the conditions under which these operations are
conducted. The Classification Regulations deal with such matters as:

3.1 The standards and marking of packages.

3.2 Segregation on a basis of sensitiveness and compatibility.

3.3 The type of hazard anticipated if the items are involved in a fire or explosion
(eg probability of mass explosion).

3.4 Maximum quantity limits based on the effects of an accidental fire or
explosion.

3.5 The possibilities of fighting a fire in which the items are involved. UN
International System of Classification.

UN International System of Classification

4. The UN International System of Classification was devised in order to promote
the safe transportation of dangerous goods that are classified by the type of
hazard involved. The system consists of 9 classes (1-9) of which Class I
comprises explosives.

5. Class 1 is divided into 6 Hazard Divisions (HD). The first four indicate the type
of hazard to be expected in the event of an accident as follows:

239

TERHAD

TERHAD

5.1 HD 1.1 - blast

5.2 HD 1.2 - projection effects

5.3 RD 1.3 - fire and radiant heat

5.4 HD 1.4 - no significant hazard

5.5 HD 1.5 comprises explosive substances which have a mass explosive
hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or
of transition from burning to detonation under normal conditions of transport.

5.6 HD 1.6 comprises articles which contain only extremely insensitive
detonating substances and which demonstrate a negligible probability of
accidental initiation or propagation.

The initial figure 1 in RD 1.1 etc refers to the Class of Dangerous goods (ie Class 1
Explosives); the second figure refers to the Hazard division.

Compatibility of Explosives

6. In order to identify compatible explosives, and those that may have to be
segregated to promote safety in storage and transport, explosives are assigned
to one of 13 Compatibility Groups. These Groups have been defined so that,
with the exception of Compatibility Groups L and N, all explosives in the same
group are compatible with each other in storage and transportation.

7. The safety of explosives would be enhanced if each type were stored and/or
transported separately; however; considerations of practicality and economics
preclude such an ideal. In practice, a balance of the interests of safety against
other relevant factors necessitates a degree of mixing in the transport and
storage of explosives. The extent to which such mixing is permitted is determined
by the compatibility of the explosives concerned. Explosives are considered to
be compatible if they may be stored or carried together without significantly
increasing either the probability of an accident or, for a given net explosive
quantity, the magnitude of the effects of such accident. The Table at Annex A
defines the 13 Compatibility Groups (CG) and shows the combination of HD to
which an individual GC can be assigned.

Special Cases - Toxic and Pyrotechnic Articles

8. Toxic Ammunition. Ammunition containing an explosive dispersing charge and
a toxic chemical agent is assigned to the appropriate Hazard Division on the
basis of the explosive hazard. For storage purposes, the Class 1 classification
takes precedence and an appropriate HD is assigned together with the
compatibility Group K.
240

TERHAD

TERHAD

9. Pyrotechnic Ammunition. For transportation purposes, CS gas, corrosive smoke
agents, white phosphorus, napalm, etc, without explosives are assigned to the
appropriate UN class (6, 8, etc) of the International System of Classification.

When made up into ammunition that also contains explosive, the Class I classification
takes precedence. The ammunition is assigned to an appropriate HD and CG. Any
subsidiary risk will be noted in the classification tables -IC, LI, and is to be marked on
the packaging.

Packaging of Explosives - Effect on Classification

10. The type and construction of packaging can determine which HD an explosive
item is assigned to. An item can be classified in one RD if packed in a steel box
and a different I-ID if packed in a wooden box. It is therefore essential, if
repacking is required, that the approved service package is used or, if the item
is unpackaged, that the approved transit devices are fitted; if other packaging is
used the classification will be rendered invalid and the item will have to be
reclassified. In addition, it should be noted that the classification is only valid for
serviceable explosives in their serviceable packaging.

Definitions of the Hazard Divisions

11. Hazard Division 1.1

11.1 HD 1.1 comprises substances and articles which have a mass explosive
hazard.

11.2 The major hazards of this division are blast, high velocity projections and
other projections of low velocity.

11.3 An explosion could result in severe structural damage, the severity and
range being determined by the amount of high explosive involved. There
may be a risk from heavy debris propelled from the structure in which the
explosion occurs, or from the crater.

11.4 HD 1.1 may display hazards associated with other divisions.

12. Hazard Division 1.2

12.1 HD 1.2 comprises substances and articles which have a projection hazard
but not a mass explosion hazard.

12.2 An explosion results in items burning and exploding progressively, a few at
a time. Furthermore, fragments, flrebrands and unexploded items may be
projected in considerable numbers; some of these may explode on impact
and cause fires or explosions. Blast effects are limited to the immediate
vicinity.

241

TERHAD

TERHAD

12.3 For the purpose of determining QD (ie for storage only) a distinction is made
as follows between those items which give small fragments of moderate
range and those items which give large fragments with a considerable
range:

12.3.1 HD 1.2 contains the more hazardous items of HD 1.2 which give large
fragments over an extended range.

12.3.2 HD 1.2* contains the less hazardous items of HD 1.2 which give
smaller fragments of limited range.

13. Hazard Division 1.3

13.1 HD 1.3 comprises substances and articles which have a fire hazard and
either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a
mass explosion hazard, and which:

13.1.1 Give rise to considerable radiant heat, or

13.1.2 Which burn one after another producing heat and minor blast or
projection effects, or both.

13.2 HD 1.3 includes some items that burn with great violence, and intense heat,
emitting considerable thermal radiation (mass fire hazard), and others which
burn sporadically. Items in this division may explode but do not usually form
dangerous high velocity fragments. However, firebrands and burning
containers may be projected.

13.3 For the purposes of determining quantity distances (ie for storage only) a
distinction has been made as follows between those items which have a
mass fire risk and those items which only burn sporadically:

13.3.1 HD 1.3 contains the more hazardous items with mass fire hazard.

13.3.2 HD 1.3* contains the less hazardous items which burn sporadically.

14. Hazard Division 1.4

14.1 HD 1.4 comprises substances and articles which present no significant
hazard.

14.2 HD 1.4 includes items which are primarily a moderate fire hazard. They do
not contribute excessively to a fire. The effects are largely confined to the
package. No fragments of appreciable size or range are to be expected. An

242

TERHAD

TERHAD

external fire does not cause the simultaneous explosive of the total contents
of a package of such items.

14.3 Some, but not all, of the above items are in Compatibility Group S. Such
items are so designed or packaged that any hazardous effects arising from
accident functioning are confined within the package unless the package
has been degraded by fire. In this case all blast or projection effects are
limited to the extent that they do not significantly hinder fire-fighting or other
emergency response efforts in the immediate vicinity, ie within 5 metres, of
the packages.

15. Hazard Division 1 .5

15.1 HD 1.5 comprises very insensitive substances which have a mass explosive
hazard but which are so insensitive that there is little probability of initiation,
or of transition from burning to detonation under normal conditions of
transportation.

16. Hazard Division 1.6

16.1 HD 1.6 comprises extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass
explosion hazard.

16.2 HD 1.6 includes those articles which contain only extremely insensitive
detonating substances and which demonstrate a negligible probability of
accidental initiation or propagation.

INTRODUCTION

1. EO is classified into Compatibility Groups for transport and storage purpose
according to its characteristics. Under ideal conditions of storage each hazard
division and sub-division should be stored separately. However as this ideal is
not always available, certain authorized mixing is permitted enabling various
groups to be stored together. However as this ideal is not always available,
certain authorized mixing is permitted enabling various groups to be stored
together.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

2. The principles underlying the classification into ‘Groups’ are as follows:

a. Explosive ordnance is not usually stored or transported together with other
goods which can hazard them eg: acids.

b. The safety of explosive ordnance would be ensured most easily if each kind
were stored and transported separately but this ideal is not practicable.

c. Different kinds of explosive ordnance can be compatible if it may be store or
carried together without significantly increasing the probability of an accident or for
a given quantity the magnitude of the effects of such an accident.

d. Subject to the requirements of safety, as indicated by compatibility,
explosive ordnance should be mixed as much as is necessary to promote
operational efficiency.

(1). The number of items requiring separate storage should be
kept to a minimum in order to ensure that the area of land required
and the costs of road and rail communications etc. is not excessive.

COMPATIBILITY GROUPS

3. Explosive ordnance is formally grouped into 13 Compatibility Groups A to H, J,
K, L, N and S. Group I is emitted to avoid confusion between the letter I and the
244

TERHAD

TERHAD

number 1. Group S is given distinctive letter since it corresponds to a unique
possibility for mixing in storage and transport.

NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY GROUP ASSIGNMENT

1. Group A: Bulk primary explosives which have the necessary sensitivity to heat,
friction, or percussion to make them suitable for use as initiating elements in an
explosive train. (The key words are 'Bulk Primary Explosives '). Examples are wet lead
azide, wet lead styphnate, wet mercury fulminate and wet tetrazene; dry RDX and dry
PETN.

2. Group B: Items containing primary explosives that are designed to initiate or
continue the functioning of an explosive train. Examples are detonators, blasting caps,
small arms primers, and fuzes without 2 or more protective features.

3. Group C: Items that upon initiation will deflagrate, explode or detonate.
'Propellant' is the key word and liquid propellants are not included). Examples are
single-,double-, triple-base, and composite propellants , rocket motors (solid
propellants), and ammunition with inert projectiles.

246

TERHAD

TERHAD

4. Group D: Applies only when a secondary detonating explosive (HE) which is
relatively sensitive to spark or friction, or black powder, is properly packed in a
dusttight container. Otherwise, special precautions are essential and Compatibility
Group L would apply. Also, explosive ordnance and explosives that can be expected
to explode or detonate when any given item or component thereof is initiated. (The
key words are 'without its own means of initiation'). Examples are bulk TNT, Comp B,
black powder, wet RDX or PETN, bombs, projectiles, CBU'S, depth charges, torpedo
warheads and fuzes with 2 or more protective features.

5. Group E: (The key words are 'HE, with propelling, charge and without its own
means of initiation for the HE'' see also note 6). Examples are artillery ammunition,
rockets or guided missiles.

6. Group F: HE explosive ordnance or devices (fuzed) with or without propelling
charges. Examples are grenades, both hand and rifle, sounding devices, and similar
items having an in-line explosive train. Note that some grenades are included in other
groups; As used in Groups D, E and P, 'with its own means of initiation' indicates that
the explosive ordnance has its normal initiating device assembled to it and this device
is considered to present a significant risk during storage. However, the term does not
apply when the initiation device is packaged in a manner which eliminates the risk of
causing the detonation of the explosive ordnance in the event of accidental functioning
of the initiating device, or when fuzed and items are so configured and packaged to
prevent arming of the fuzed end items. The initiating device may even be assembled
to the explosive ordnance, provided its safety features preclude initiation or detonation
of explosives filler of the end item in event of an accidental functioning of the initiating
device. Hand grenades are considered to have their own means of initiation as the
fuze has no out-of-line component and will detonate the grenade if the fuze is initiated.
20mm HEI ammunition is considered to be without its own means of initiation as the
fuze, if initiated, will not detonate the projectile because of the out-of-line rotor.

7. Group G: Explosive ordnance that, upon functioning, results in an incendiary,
illumination, lachrymatory, smoke or sound effect. Examples are flares, signals,
incendiary or illuminating ammunition, and other smoke or tear producing devices.

8. Group H: Explosive ordnance in this group contains fillers which are
spontaneously flammable when exposed to the atmosphere.

9. Group J: Explosive ordnance in this group contains flammable liquids or gels
other than those which are spontaneously flammable when exposed to water or the
atmosphere. Examples are liquid or gel filled incendiary ammunition, FAE devices,
flammable liquid missiles, and torpedoes.

10. Group K: Explosive ordnance in this group contains chemicals specifically
designed for incapacitating effects more severe than lachrymation. (The key words
are 'toxic chemical agents'). Examples are artillery or mortar ammunition, fuzed or
unfuzed, grenades, rockets or bombs filled with a lethal or incapacitating chemical
agent.

247

TERHAD

TERHAD
11. Group L: Explosive ordnance not included in other compatibility groups.
Explosive ordnance having characteristics that do not permit storage with other types
of explosive ordnance, or kinds of explosives, or dissimilar explosive ordnance of this
group. Examples, are water activated devices, pre packed hypergolic liquid-fuelled
rocket engines, certain FAE devices- and damaged or suspect explosive ordnance of
any group. Types presenting similar hazards may be stored together but not mixed
with other groups.
12. Group S: This group corresponds to the Safety Explosives and Safety
Ammunition which constitute part of Hazard Division 1.4. Examples are thermal
batteries, explosive switches or valves, and certain types of SAA.

NOTES FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF COMPATIBILITY
GROUP MIXING CHART

1. EO in HD 1.4 of groups B, C, D, F and G, and explosives of HD 1.5 Group D
may be stored together.

2. Detonators of Group B (HD 1.1B) may be stored with EO of Group C, D and E
or Group F or Group G. The detonators, up to a total NEQ of 13 kg, must be
stored in approved containers (see Note 3) and must be separated from the
other group (s) by a traverse of sufficient dimensions to screen all lines of sight.
(see Note 4). The detonators, up to 1 kg NEQ may be stored in an approved
container, without traversing, provided the detonators are stored at least 2
meter from any other permitted EO.

3. The following are approved containers:

a. DSN 8140-66-067-8112 Case Transporting Explosives (CTE) No 3.

b. DSN 8140-66-067-8113 Case Transporting Explosives (CTE) No 4.

4. The traverse may be constructed of not less than 340 mm brick or 225 mm
reinforced concrete, or four rows together of H60 boxes filled with sand or
packed with earth. The traverse is to exceed the height of stored EO by at least
600 mm. Detonators and other EO is not to be placed within 1.5 m of the
traverse.

5. EO of HCC 1.1B (other than detonators) and EO of HCC 1.2B may be mixed
with Group C or Group G. EO of HCC 1.1B must be separated from the other
group by a traverse of sufficient dimension to screen all lines of sight. The total
NEQ of EO of HCC 1.1B permitted for storage under these conditions can very
depending on the dimensions of the traverse (see Note 6 for details).

6. For a given NEQ of HCC 1.1B, the traverse may be constructed of brick,
reinforced concrete of rows together of H60 boxes filled with sand or packed
earth. In every case, the traverse is to exceed the height of the stored EO by at
least 600 mm and is to accord with the dimensions given below:

NEQ of EO of Thickness of Traverse of Brick/ Thickness of Traverse
Group B Reinforced Concrete (Row of H60 Boxes
filled with sand/earth
Up to 5 kg 340 mm/225 mm

TERHAD

7 to 12 kg TERHAD 7
12 to 18 kg 570 mm/225 mm 8
700 mm/300 mm

7. Equal numbers of separately packaged components of complete rounds of gun
ammunition of any single type may be stored together or with assembled
rounds made up from those components. When so stored, the compatibility
group is that of the assembled round.

8. EO in Groups G, J, K, or L containing smoke, incendiary, inflammable liquids
or gels, or toxic agents is normally to be stored in surface explosives
storehouses. IBL may approve underground storage if above ground storage is
not available.

9. EO of Groups G and H may be stored in the same site but must be segregated
by a floor-to-ceiling 230mm brick wall (or a wall of equivalent fire rating). Group
H containing white phosphorus or phosphates must not be stored underground.

10. Group K requires separate storage from all other groups, but may also require
separate storage within the group. IBL shall determine which EO in Group K
may be stored together and that which must be stored separately.

11. Group L requires separate storage from all other groups and also requires
separate storage within the group. However, IBL may approve mixing of
specified types of group L where an assessment of the hazards of each type
shows this is reasonable. For example, different types of missiles using the
same combination of fuel and oxidants may be stored in the same building.

12. EO of Group N may be stored with EO of Groups C, D and E. When so stored,
EO of Group N is to be considered as having the characteristics of EO of Group
D for further mixing purposes.

13. Group S and empty, inert filled, practice, drill and instructional of EO may be
stored with EO from any group except A, K and L. Empty, inert filled etc. items
may be kept in a building with fixed items but not those of similar types. (see
Part 3, Leaflet K1).

ABOVEGROUND STORAGE - MIXING AND AGGREGATION RULES FOR
HAZARD DIVISIONS

1. To enable best use to be made of explosive ordnance storage facilities, mixing of
Hazard Divisions (HD) within the authorised mixing of Compatibility Groups is
permitted. The HD of mixed storage of EO is to be determined from the following table:

252
TERHAD

TERHAD

Hazard 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6

Division 1.1 1.1 2 1.1 1.1

1.5 1.1 1.1 1.1
1.6 1.1 1.1 (4) 1.1(4)
Notes:

1. When more than two HD are present in storage, any two of those HD are to be
considered in determining a resultant HD, which is then to be considered with the
next HD and so on until all HD present in storage have been considered.

2. 1.4 may be stored with any other HD without aggregation.

3. Mixed 1.2 and 1.3 will usually behave as aggregated 1.2 or 1.3 (see DEOP Part 2,
Sect 5, Chap 1, paragraphs TBA ). However, there is a significant risk that, in certain
circumstances, a mix of 1.2 and 1.3 will behave as an aggregated quantity of 1.1. If
any of the following circumstances exists the mix must be aggregated as 1.1, unless
relevant trials or analyses indicate otherwise:

a. the presence of 1.2 shaped charges;

b. the presence of high energy propellants, eg as used in some tank gun
applications;

c. the presence of 1.3 under conditions of heavy confinement; or

d. the presence of 1.2 articles with an individual NEQ > 5 kg.

4. 1.1 unless demonstrated by testing or analogy to be otherwise.

Required Quantity Distances for Explosive Ordnance of more than one Hazard
Division in a Single PES

5. When EO of different HD is to be kept in a single PES at the same time, the required
QD are to be determined as follows:

a. When EO of HD 1.4 is kept in the same PES as EO of one or more other
HD, the NEQ of the HD 1.4 may be ignored.

b. When EO of HD 1.2.1 and HD 1.2.2 is kept in the same PES, determine
the QD for the amount of HD 1.2.1 only, taking no account of any HD 1.2.2

c. When EO of HD 1.3.3 and HD 1.3.4 is kept in the same PES, the required
QD is that given for the aggregated NEQ taken as HD 1.3.3.

d. When EO of HD 1.1 and HD 1.2 is kept in the same PES the required QD
is that given for the aggregated NEQ, ie the total NEQ of HD 1.1 and HD
1.2, considered as HD 1.1.

e. When EO of HD 1.1 and HD 1.3 is kept in the same PES, the aggregate
NEQ, ie the total NEQ of HD 1.1 and HD 1.3, is to be determined and
considered as HD 1.1.

f. UK ESTC sponsored tests with 76 mm HESH Rounds, 81 mm Mortar
Bombs and 120 mm Propelling Charges have demonstrated that, as a
general rule, HD 1.2 and HD 1.3 do not need to be aggregated as HD 1.1
but can be treated separately (but see para 114.c). Therefore when
explosives of HD 1.2 and HD 1.3 are kept in the same site, determine the
QD for the amount of HD 1.2 only, taking account of sub-para b above.
Next, determine the QD for the amount of HD 1.3 only, taking account of
sub-para c, above. The required QD is the greater of these two distances.

g. When EO of HD 1.1, HD 1.2 and HD 1.3 is kept in the same PES, the
aggregate NEQ, ie the total quantity of HD 1.1, HD 1.2 and HD 1.3, is to be
determined and considered as HD 1.1.

Permissible Quantities of Explosive Ordnance of More than One Hazard Division in
a Single PES

6. When EO of different HD is kept in a single PES at the same time, the permissible
NEQ is to be determined, using the tables at Annex A, as follows:

a. When EO of HD 1.4 is kept in the same PES as EO of one or more HD, the
NEQ of HD 1.4 may be excluded.

b. When EO of HD 1.2.1 and HD 1.2.2 is kept in the same PES, the
permissible two NEQ may be stored independently up to the permissible
NEQ for each HD considered separately.

c. When different types of EO of HD 1.3, ie HD 1.3.3 and HD 1.3.4, are stored
in the same PES, the permissible aggregate NEQ of HD 1.3, ie total NEQ,
is that for the more hazardous type, ie HD 1.3.3.

NEQ is that for the aggregate NEQ treated as HD 1.1.
f. When EO of HD 1.2 and HD 1.3 is kept in the same PES, the permissible

two NEQ may be stored independently up to the permissible NEQ for each
HD considered separately.
g. When EO of HD 1.1, HD 1.2 and HD 1.3 is kept in the same PES, the

CALCULATION OF STORAGE CAPACITY
AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Reference:

A. AP 110A-0102-1B Leaflet B2
B. Explosive Regulations PU 201630 Part 2 Leaflet B2

Purpose

1. This Instruction describes the methods for calculating the storage capacity and floor
space requirements for explosive ordnance (EO) facilities.

General Considerations

2. The floor space requirements for the storage of EO will depend on the size of
the items or packages and the maximum permitted stacking heights of the explosives
or the height available if this is less.

3. As it is necessary to allow for gangways, working space, short stacks, etc, only
a proportion of the total cubic capacity of a storage facility may be taken as the
effective capacity for the storage of explosives. The effective capacity is normally to
be assessed as half the floor area of the storage facility multiplied by the height of the
stacks. Alternatively, accurate calculations may be undertaken if the types of stores
and their packaging arrangements are known.

4. Although the effective capacity of a storage facility is the factor most likely to
limit the amount of explosives that can be accommodated, it is also governed by the
Hazard Division and the Compatibility Group of the items to be stored in the facility.-

Calculating The Maximum Storage Of The Building

5. The limiting factors to be considered when calculating the quantity of explosives that a
facility can store are:

a. The limit imposed by the effective capacity of the building.

b. The maximum NEQ by Hazard Division for which the building is licensable.

258

TERHAD

TERHAD

Calculating Space Requirements

6. Floor Area - The floor area, in square metres which will be occupied by a given
quantity of packages, can be determined from the formula:

Floor Area = mxwxL
n

Where :

m = is the total number of packages. n` = is
the number of tiers of packages. w = is the
width, in metres, of the package. l = is the
length, in metres, of the package.

7. The floor area, in square metres, which will be occupied by a given quantity of
unpackaged stores is found from the formula:

Floor Area = (2m + n2 - n) x d x lx d x L
2n

Where :

m = is the total number of items to be stacked.
n = is the number of tiers of items.
d = is the overall diameter, in metres, of the item. l
= is its overall length in metres.

8. In order to calculate the number of tiers that will not exceed the permitted stacking
height, the following formula should be used: ( Loose item / unboxes)

No of Tiers = h – d ++ 1 1
d x 0.865

Where :

h = is the maximum permitted stacking height in metres and d = is
the maximum diameter, in metres, of the items to be stacked.

Where the calculation results in other than a whole number, the fraction is to be ignored.

DETERMINATION OF NET EXPLOSIVES QUANTITY

Reference:

A. DEOP 103 (AMI) Part 2 Sect 5 Chap 3

Introduction

1. The determination of the net explosives quantity is a necessary and important
part of the assessment of the hazards induced by a single item of explosive ordnance
(EO) or a set of them as in a unit load for storage or transportation purposes.

Purpose

2. This instruction details the general rules for determining the explosives quantity
of EO for the purpose of storage and transport activities.

General

3. Explosives Quantity for Storage Purposes. An explanation of the need to
determine the explosives quantity of EO for storage purposes follows.

a. For the purpose of storage, it is necessary to determine the amount of
explosive substance to use for computing Quantity Distances (QD). Therefore,
this amount, referred to as the Net Explosives Quantity (NEQ), must be
expressed in such a way that it is possible to use the QD tables to determine
the distances required.

b. The QD tables give the minimum distances between a Potential
Explosion Site (PES) and an Exposed Site (ES). These are necessary to
determine whether an acceptable risk exists in case of an explosion for persons
and materiel assets that would be exposed. For instance, they give the
minimum distance to inhabited buildings (Inhabited Building Distance), or to
public roads (Public Traffic Route Distance).

c. The QD tables have been determined by using data from accidents or
tests where the PES was a charge in a certain configuration, called a reference
charge, eg a bare charge of TNT in case of Hazard Division 1.1. Thus, the
amount of explosive substance contained in the EO may need to be expressed
in terms of equivalent charges when considered necessary.

261

TERHAD

TERHAD

d. The NEQ of an item of EO is the amount Q of the reference charge,
expressed in kg, which, if replacing the EO, is supposed to have the same
effects, in terms of blast, fragment energy or thermal flux. Therefore, the NEQ
is the amount of explosive to be used in the QD tables or formula to determine
the separation distances in case of an explosion (detonation, deflagration or
combustion).

4. Explosives Quantity for Transport Purposes. For the purpose of transport the
explosives quantity is regarded to be the total amount, in kg, of explosive substances
or, in the case of explosive articles, the total amount of explosive substances contained
in all articles. In this instance the total explosives quantity is referred to as the
Transportation Explosives Quantity (TEQ). TEQ is the 'Net Explosives Quantity' referred
to in the Australian Code for the Transport of Explosives by Road and Rail.

RULES FOR DETERMINING NET EXPLOSIVES QUANTITY

5. Determination of the NEQ of a Single Item of EO. The NEQ of a single item of
EO is the total quantity of the explosive filling unless it has been determined, eg by
testing, that the explosive effects of the EO significantly differ from the explosive effects
expected from that quantity. The NEQ (and TEQ) does not include such substances as
white phosphorus, chemical agents, smoke and incendiary compositions, and liquid fuel,
unless these substances contribute significantly to the dominant hazard of the hazard
division concerned, eg 25 percent of the weight of Otto Fuel II in Warshot Mk 48
Torpedoes, is added to the weight of the warhead and other explosive components
when calculating the NEQ.

6. Determination of the NEQ of a Set of EO. The methodology for calculation of
the NEQ for a set of EO is explained.

a. Set of Identical EO. The NEQ of a set of identical items of EO, eg unit
load, is obtained by adding together the NEQ of each item of EO, unless it has
been determined, eg by testing, that the explosive effects of the set significantly
differ from the explosive effects expected from that quantity.

b. Set of EO of Different Classifications. The NEQ of a set of items of
EO of different hazard classifications depends on the classification of the EO.
The normal mixing rules for hazard divisions and compatibility groups of EO in
storage and during transportation apply. Determination of the NEQ is then
obtained as explained in subparagraph a.

NOTES FOR QUANTITY-DISTANCE TABLES

General Note on Pictographs
4. The pictographs in the following paragraphs are introduced to simplify the
presentation of information in the Q-D Tables. The tables are intended to be used in
conjunction with the definitions in the Glossary of Terms and the principles given in
the parent leaflet. The pictographs are purely diagrammatic; their shapes do not imply
that actual structures should have similar shapes and proportions. The orientation
shown is intended to indicate the direction of principal concern for blast, flame, radiant
heat and projections shown by arrows. In an actual situation every direction must be
considered in turn. At a Potential Explosion Site there are relatively few significant
variations but at an Exposed Site it is necessary to distinguish among different types
of construction and among different functions of buildings. For these reasons, a given
building may require one symbol when it is being considered as a
Potential Explosion Site, and another symbol when it is considered as an Exposed Site.
