Explosive Blast
Containment

The Project

JBS were contacted by a major aerospace company in the US. The client required an explosive blast containment solution for use during equipment testing.

The Challenge

JBS were given the task of providing a protection system to contain potential explosive blast and fragmentation threats during equipment test procedures. Blast energy was calculated to be 289,608(J) with a TNT equivalent of 0.06(KG) or 0.132(Lb).

The Solution

Having completed analysis of the explosive energy characteristics, JBS installed Blastac® technology to provide protection from blast and high speed frag. A patented vent system was included to limit the overpressure and mitigate the damage to equipment. The solution exceeded client expectations for quality and delivery schedule, helping them to keep on track to complete the first orbital test flight in 2023. The system provides explosive  blast and frag protection during engine testing for next generation space craft.
