Starting in 2015, Stone Security Engineering, P.C. and Oregon Ballistic Laboratories Joined Teams as Stone-OBL, LLC.
Open Arena Testing
Stone-OBL is able to test building products using open-arena, full-scale blast testing – the gold standard when it comes to validating the protective power of building products.
The large-scale blast test facility comes equipped with a test fixture with a 15-ft x 15-ft clear opening, which can be used for single and multi-span building panels or for multiple product tests in a single shot. The fixture can also be customized to support curtainwall, door and glazing testing. Blast tests using multiple thousands of pounds of TNT equivalent charge weights and various energetic materials can be supported at this large-scale arena. Our modular steel fixtures can be utilized in conjunction for testing multiple products and standoffs in a single shot.
The facility can also accommodate customized blast test programs and setups as well as extreme loading incident investigations testing replication efforts.
