In an engineering feat, Sandia test engineers powered up the Labs’ 300-foot blast tube. Engineers can tailor the facility to fit different test needs and detonate hundreds of pounds of explosives inside the tube. By focusing blast energy on test materials with high precision and repeatability, Sandia provides essential insights for modeling and systems teams.
