ENERGETIC MATERIAL DETECTOR

A method of detecting energetic materials, such as explosives, includes energizing a sample area that contains particles of energetic materials. In the method, temperature characteristics from the sample area are monitored, and a temperature released from exothermic decomposition of the particles is...

Summary:A method of detecting energetic materials, such as explosives, includes energizing a sample area that contains particles of energetic materials. In the method, temperature characteristics from the sample area are monitored, and a temperature released from exothermic decomposition of the particles is detected. The method further includes analyzing the detected temperature to determine the presence of the exothermic compound which caused the decomposition. Procédé permettant de détecter des matières énergétiques, telles que des explosifs, qui consiste à déterminer une zone échantillon contenant des particules des matières énergétiques. Dans le procédé, les caractéristiques de température de la zone échantillon sont surveillées et on détecte une température dégagée de la décomposition exothermique des particules. Le procédé consiste en outre à analyser la température détectée pour déterminer la présence du composé exothermique qui a provoqué la décomposition.
