L105 Goulburn Valley Explosives Tests, Murray Basin, VIC, 1974

Field tests were conducted on 11 March 1974 in Waiaal Victoria to compare the seismic efficiency of Molanite, TNT, and-Anzite Blue. Ueismic energy p:enerated by equal amounts of each explosive was recorded in identical conditions, and the amplitudes of the refracted and reflected waves were measured and compared. The comparisons indicated that Molanite and Anzite Blue were equally efficient whereas TNT was about 10 percent less efficient. No significant difference was observed in the character of the seismic energy

generated by any of the explosives tested.

Statement

Anzite Blue, Geophex, and Nitropril have been used as sources of seismic energy by the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BR) land seismic survey parties in the past. On information that TNT (trinitrotoluene) could be available from the Munitions Filling Factory of the Department of Supply at a cheaper cost than Anzite Blue it was decided to conduct field tests to determine the relative seismic efficiency of TNT and Anzite Blue, the most commonly used seismic explosive. At about the same time, I.C.I. Australia Limited also offered on the market a newly manufactured explosive, Molanite, with claims of improved safety and performance over the other explosives used for seismic work. It was therefore decided to include Molanite in the comparison tests.
