Abstract
The borehole pressure/time history of blasting practice is simulated in a twin pendulum apparatus, where the expanding shotfiring gases force two steel slab swingers apart. A pilot installation built at SveDeFo is described. The relevant factors, that govern the use of this test method as a means of classifying explosives with respect to their toxic fume potential, are described.
