Abstract
The experience of recent years shows us in very clear terms that in areas where small or large-scale military conflicts have taken place, a wide variety of standardized or improvised explosive devices are discovered and continue to be used. Due to their predominantly improvised nature, the methods and techniques of countering the authorities are extremely difficult, with a high degree of complexity and not without risks. The paper should be a concrete and scientifically based support for the efforts to find the best solutions for individual protection against explosions, through the contribution of knowledge in the field of the effect of the explosion on a metal pipe.
