A status report is presented for a program studying the characteristics of the blast waves and fragmentation caused by ruptured gas-filled pressure vessels. Experimental data trends have been derived from 14 burst pressure vessels. Attention is given to energy release in bursting, blast wave and fragmentation behavior, height of burst effects, fragment velocity vs vessel pressure, and comparative blast effects for spherical/composite vs cylindrical/steel pressure vessels.
