ExpSAFE Blast Calculator

ExpSAFE Blast Calculator is a mobile safety application that has been developed to enable quick blast wave predictions associated with Dangerous Goods Class 1.1 explosions.    While there is a wide selection of military and commercial software applications to assist those involving in conducting explosion effects analysis, these tend to be complex and technical in nature.   Blast Calculator sacrifices complexity and a level of precision for simplicity and ease of use.   For this reason the application is not intended for safety critical analysis or formal decision making purposes (refer the disclaimer statement within the application).  For additional information contact the developer

FEATURES OF THIS VERSION

This standard edition provides the following functionality:

* Ability to determine the blast effective yield based on Net Explosive Quantity and the TNT equivalence assigned to the type of explosives being consideration.
* Calculate the Blast Scaling factor based on Effective Yield of explosives and the distance between the detonation and point of interest. This version is limited to metric units only. Please consider the professional edition if you want the ability to toggle between imperial and metric units.
* Option to view a range of predicted hemisphere blast wave characteristics such as overpressure and impulse.  Note the results do not take into account munition case, shape, or structures around the point of detonation.
* Displays a brief summary of potential injury and damage linked to estimated blast wave peak overpressure based on available open source documentation.
