AMMO 18 EVALUATION TEST ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Group G - Storage Compatibility Group - ✔✔Group G includes pyrotechnics,
fireworks, illuminating, incendiary, smoke (excluding white phosphorous), and tear
producing agents
✔✔Group H - Storage Compatibility Group - ✔✔Group H includes ammunition
containing both explosives and white phosphorous or other material that is
spontaneously combustible on contact with the atmosphere.
✔✔Group J - Storage Compatibility Group - ✔✔Group J includes ammunition that
contains both explosives and flammable liquid or gels.
✔✔Group K - Storage Compatibility Group - ✔✔Group K includes ammunition
containing both explosives and toxic chemical agents specifically designed for
incapacitating effects more severe than lachrymation. Examples: artillery or mortar
(fuzed or un-fuzed), grenades, and rockets or bombs filled with a lethal or incapacitating
chemical agent.
✔✔Group L - Storage Compatibility Group - ✔✔Group L includes ammunition not
included in other compatibility groups, having characteristics that present a special risk
that does not permit storage with other types of AE, other kinds of explosives, or
dissimilar AE. Includes damaged or suspect ammunition from any group.
✔✔Group N - Storage Compatibility Group - ✔✔Group N includes ammunition
containing only extremely insensitive detonating substance (EIDS). Storage
compatibility group N does not currently exist in U.S. inventory.
✔✔Group S - Storage Compatibility Group - ✔✔Group S includes AE that presents no
significant hazard. It's packaged or designed to minimize hazardous effects from
accidental functioning.
, ✔✔ESQD standards by controlling two primary factors - ✔✔the quantity of explosives
and the separation distance between the explosives and other sites
As a general rule, the greater the amount of explosives, the greater the separation
distance required for safety
✔✔Potential Explosion Site (PES) - ✔✔any location where explosives may be handled
or store
Storage Magazines, Outdoor Storage Locations, Ammunitions/Explosives Holding Area,
Maintenance or Production Facilities, Demilitarization Ranges, Shipping & Receiving
Sites/Buildings
✔✔Exposed Sites (ES) - ✔✔any location that could be affected by an explosion
Base Housing, Roads, Administrative Areas, Areas Outside of the Base Boundary,
Other Areas/Critical Infrastructure
✔✔K-Factor - ✔✔separation distance calculation based on exposure to blast pressure
✔✔Select the two levels of protection designed to prevent sympathetic detonation. -
✔✔Intermagazine Distance (IMD)
Intraline Distance (ILD)
✔✔Which HC/D typically requires the greatest separation distance? - ✔✔HC/D 1.1
✔✔An LPS for an explosives building must be designed to intercept a striking distance
of what size? - ✔✔100-foot Radius
✔✔Four types of LPS - ✔✔Catenary
Mast
Integral
Faraday Shield
✔✔Three basic components of LPS - ✔✔Air terminals
Conductors
Grounding System
✔✔What is the function of an LPS? - ✔✔To provide lightning with a non-destructive, low
impedance path to ground
**Each type of LPS uses a different down conductor configuration, but each LPS must
have at least 2 down conductors to ensure a dependable low-resistance path to ground.
✔✔What is the minimum separation distance between a remote LPS (mast and
catenary system) and the structure to be protected? - ✔✔6 feet
