Q

Define HD 1.1?

A

HD 1.1 - BLAST

  • Contains ammo which presents a mass explosion hazard, which will produce severe structural damage to buildings in the immediate surroundings.
  • Severity of damage is dependent upon the quantity of explosives and distance of the buildings from ES.
  • Blast and HV frag are the major hazards, may be a danger from heavy frag propelled from the structure in which the explosion occurs.

Q

Define HD 1.2?

A

HD 1.2 Projection Effects

  • Contains ammunition which has a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard
  • The explosion will result in items burning and exploding a few at a time. Fragments, firebrands and unexploded items may be projected in considerable numbers.
  • Blast effects will be limited to the immediate vicinity of the exposed site

Q

Define HD Sub divisions 1.2.1 and 1.2.2?

A
  • HD 1.2.1 comprises those munitions that contain a high explosive charge and may also contain a propelling or pyrotechnic charge. These items will have an individual NEQ greater than 0.73kg.
  • HD 1.2.2 comprises those munitions that contain a high explosive charge and may also contain a propelling or pyrotechnic charge. These munitions will have an individual NEQ equal to or less than 0.73kg.

Q

Define HD 1.3?

A

HD 1.3 – Fire and Radiant Heat

  • Contains ammunition which has a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard
  • Items in this division may explode but do not usually form dangerous fragments. Firebrands and burning containers may be projected.
  • It includes some items which burn with great violence and intense heat emitting considerable thermal radiation and others which burn sporadically.

Q

Define HD Sub divisions 1.3.3 and 1.3.4?

A

HD 1.3.3 – producing a mass fire effect
- consists of the more hazardous items of HD 1.3 which produce a fireball with intense radiant heat, firebrands and some fragments.
HD 1.3.4 - not producing a mass fire effect
- consists of the less hazardous items of HD 1.3 that produce a moderate fire with moderate projections and firebrands.

Q

Define HD 1.4?

A

HD 1.4 - no significant Hazard

  • Contains ammo with a moderate fire hazard which will not contribute excessively to the fire.
  • The effects will be largely confined to the package, however the external fire may cause the package to degrade so it will not entirely contain the effects of the ammo
  • No frag of appreciable size or range are to be expected.
  • An external fire will not cause a mass explosion of the total contents of the package, regardless of the number of items in the package

Q

Define HD 1.5?

A

HD 1.5 – Blast
- Contains ammunition which although potentially mass explosive, is very insensitive therefore there is very little probability of a transition from burning to detonation.

20
Q

Definition of a Lot?

A

The product of one run of production of a particular component, mix or blend.

21
Q

Aims of Lotting / Batching? (5)

A
  • ID a QTY of EO which should give uniform performance
  • Reduce Manufacturer’s risk of large scale rejection or warranty claims
  • Facilitate the tracing, ID and withdrawal of EO that is life expired or has given unsatisfactory performance
  • ID a definite QTY for results of surveillance can be representative
  • Facilitate establishment of records.
22
Q

Define a Batch?

A

A Batch is a group assembled rounds, which consist of a number of main components and are normally assembled by selected lots of such components.

23
Q

Ammunition can be formed into local lots providing the ammunition is serviceable, what else must be assured.

A
  • Each Local Lot is confined to nature, type and model

- Quantity is not to exceed normal production Lot qty

24
Q

What is the current systems of Batching Australia uses for the manufacture of ammunition?

A

1969 Batching System

25
Q

***Purpose of Markings

A

P - Provide information for storage and transport
P - Provide protection against corrosion damage
P - Provide all necessary manufacturing and filling details
I - Issue of the correct nature and type
C - Clearly identify the nature, type and function under all conditions

26
Q

**6 Marking categories?
