A reusable small-scale explosive testing apparatus has a structural member with a curved internal chamber, a head piece that inserts into the chamber, a cap to hold the head piece, a pressure-time gage, water to fill the chamber and a pressure release mechanism. The apparatus is used to test small amounts of explosive.

1. A reusable small-scale explosive testing apparatus, comprising:a structural member having a closed end and a receiving end forming a hollow cylindrical chamber therein, the chamber having a curved radius internal surface at the closed end and the chamber extending through the structural member at the receiving end, the chamber further having a substantially constant radius along the length of the structural member, the receiving end having an externally threaded circumference thereon; a head piece having an insertion component and covering component, wherein the insertion component fits into the chamber on the receiving end and partially fills the chamber; the covering component resting adjacent to the receiving end; a cap forming a cavity therein configured to receive the head piece, the cavity further forming internally threaded surface for mating with the externally threaded circumference of the structural member; a gage configured for units of pressure versus time measurements; a confinement liquid component of sufficient volume to fill the chamber for testing; and, means for releasing pressure extending from the structural member through the head piece and cap, wherein the means for releasing pressure is capable of retaining and releasing high pressures from the structural member.
