U.S. Department of Defense HJ3 Blast Test

The United States Department of Defense tested HJ3-backed technology to wrap a structure in carbon fiber and test it's strength against a violent explosion

The United States Department of Defense tested HJ3-backed technology to wrap a structure in carbon fiber and test it's strength against a violent explosion.HJ3 conducted testing to demonstrate the performance of the BlastSeal™ System. Two un-reinforced concrete masonry walls were constructed within a larger containment structure.

dod blast test - before

BlastSeal™ was applied to the interior and exterior of the right side. Detonation of explosive created a crater that was approximately 108 inches in diameter with a maximum depth of 21 inches. The control wall was completely destroyed. BlastSeal™ Retrofitted wall remained intact, and no debris of any kind was found in the interior space behind the retrofitted wall.

The Truth Behind Compliant Composite Repairs: Matching Standards to Real-World Defects

Ensure the safety and durability of your assets by following essential repair standards for composite repairs, like ASME PCC-2, especially for high-pressure, high-temperature environments. However, matching repair designs precisely to defects is critical, as one-size-fits-all approaches may lead to failures. Avoid costly rework by providing engineers with detailed defect information to tailor repairs effectively. Learn more about aligning standards with real-world applications to enhance repair success.
