Which statement best describes a 5.2 type G material?

• A. Will Not Detonate, Does Not Deflagrate, Shows No Effect If Heated When Confined, and Has No Explosion Power
• B. Will Detonate and Have High Explosion Power
• C. Will Detonate, Deflagrate, and Have Moderate Explosion Power
• D. Will Not Detonate, Deflagrate, and Show Some Effect When Heated

Answer: (A)

5.2 type G materials are characterized by being essentially non-energetic and insensitive to common initiation conditions. The statement that best matches this category says the material will not detonate, will not deflagrate, shows no effect when heated when confined, and has no explosion power. That describes a substance that does not release explosive energy under those conditions, which is exactly what Type G represents. In contrast, materials described as detonating or deflagrating or showing any reaction when heated would belong to more energetic 5.2 types, not Type G.
