爆炸過程光學分析儀

OPTIMEX 64 是一種先進的科學儀器，用於使用多個光纖探頭測量爆炸速度（以及爆炸的其它參數）和衝擊波，同時連續記錄光訊號強度。

OPTIMEX 64 是 OPTIMEX 8 的擴充版本，能夠容納更多的光學測量通道。通道數可由使用者自訂，從 8 到最多 64 個不等。有這麼多的光纖探測器，儀器的功能就像一台高速條紋照相機。同時，光纖探測頭提供全面的防潮和防電磁干擾功能，可與其它儀器組合配合使用。
 

應用

OPTIMEX 64 具備 OPTIMEX 8 的所有應用功能以及其它許多功能。它可用於先進研究、工業、軍事、教育或工程應用中的高能量材料爆炸速度測量。該儀器記錄炸藥內特定位置的完整光強度-時間曲線，從而可以追蹤爆炸或衝擊波。透過對光強度曲線的分析，可對包括高度非理想爆炸物在內的所有現有樣品進行可靠的訊號評估。炸藥的半透明性、低光散射率、後燃等將不會再破壞測量結果。

OPTIMEX 64 的任務可包含確定：

• 爆炸速度，這是所有炸藥的基本參數。
• 爆炸波曲率，爆炸理想性的衡量標準。
• 惰性材料中的撞擊速度，可用來估計 Chapman-Jouguet 爆炸壓力。
• 在複雜的連續爆炸過程追蹤衝擊波或爆炸波。
• 基本的圓著體抗壓試驗，其中壁速是爆炸強度的衡量標準（VeloreX PDV 的精度較低且成本較低的替代方案）。

優勢和特點

• 根據客戶要求（塑料光纖、玻璃纖維或混搭），最多可配置 64 個被動光學探測頭。
• 光強度-時間曲線紀錄。
• 不受雜散電流和電磁干擾的影響。
• 觸控式 LCD 顯示幕。
• 自動化數據評估。

The OPTIMEX™ 64 is an advanced scientific instrument used for the measurement of detonation velocity  
(and other parameters of detonation) and shock waves  using multiple fiber optic probes along with the  continuous recording of light signal intensity. 
The OPTIMEX 64 is an extended version of OPTIMEX 8  with the ability to accommodate even more optical measurement channels. The channel count can be  
user defined from 8 to up to 64. With such a high  number of fiber optic probes, the instrument’s capabilities resemble those of a high-speed streak camera. The fiber  optic probes principally provide full resistance against humidity and electromagnetic disturbances allowing the instrument to be combined with other instrumentation.

APPLICATIONS

The OPTIMEX 64 has all the application capabilities of the OPTIMEX 8 plus many others. It can handle measurements of detonation velocity of energetic materials in advanced research, industrial, military, educational or engineering applications. The instrument records full light intensity-time profiles at specific places within an explosive charge which allows to track detonation or shock waves. Analysis of light intensity profiles makes evaluation of such signals robust and reliable for all existing samples including highly non-ideal explosives. Explosive’s translucency, low light emissivity, afterburning, etc. will no longer spoil the measurement results.

Tasks for OPTIMEX 64 may include determination of:

• Detonation velocity, a basic parameter of all explosives
• Detonation wave curvature, a measure of an explosion’s ideality
• Shock velocities in inert materials, useful for the estimation of Chapman-Jouguet detonation pressure
• Shock or detonation wave tracking in complex explosive initiation trains
• Basic cylinder expansion testing where the wall velocity is a measure of explosive strength (a less precise and less expensive alternative to the VeloreX PDV)

ADVANTAGES & FEATURES

• Up to 64 passive optical probes according to the customer’s requirements (plastic or glass fibers or a combination)
• Light intensity-time profiles recording
• Immune to stray currents and EM disturbances
• Touch screen LCD display
• Automated data evaluation routines
