Presets

83 kPa — Severe structural / lethal
35 kPa — Serious injury, wall collapse
14 kPa — Eardrum rupture risk
3.5 kPa — Window breakage

Peak incident overpressure follows Hopkinson-Cranz cube-root scaling: the scaled distance Z = R/W^(1/3) sets the blast pressure. Rings show injury and damage thresholds. Screening estimate for standoff planning only — consult EOD and published safe-distance tables on scene.

Governing equation

Reading this result: At 30 m from 10 kg the scaled distance is Z ≈ 13.9 m/kg^1/3, giving about 8 kPa (window breakage) — since Z = R/W^(1/3), the same pressure ring scales with the cube root of charge, so 8× the explosive only doubles every safe radius.
