PETS Toolbox is a professional, education-driven calculation platform that turns explosives engineering theory, regulations, and field practice into clear, defensible, real-world decisions.
The PETS Toolbox gives practicing blasters fast, field-ready calculations and streamlined inventory tools—all accessible right from the palm of your hand.
Deliver consistent, classroom-ready demonstrations and assignable exercises that reduce prep time, while providing proven workflows that help you design safe, efficient blasts with confidence and minimal setup—directly from your computer..
Rely on an audit-ready suite that provides American Table of Distances checks, inventory calculations, ATF newsletter guidance, and key regulatory references—giving you fast, field-ready compliance resources right on your phone.
Inside the PETS Toolbox app, you’ll find professional calculators, reference tools, and guided explanations that connect explosives engineering theory, regulations, and real-world practice.
Everything is designed to support safe decision-making, clear documentation, and effective education in blasting and shock-wave physics.
PETS Toolbox calculations are built on established explosives engineering principles, physical models, and regulatory guidance, ensuring results that are both technically sound and defensible. Each calculator follows a transparent, step-by-step structure that shows how inputs are used, how assumptions are applied, and how results are derived—eliminating black-box outputs.
The calculations are designed for education, field planning, and compliance, allowing users to explore why a result occurs, not just what the result is. By combining physics-based equations, practical rules of thumb, and real-world constraints, PETS Toolbox supports safer decision-making, clearer documentation, and more effective instruction across blasting, shock wave physics, and energetic materials applications.
Inside PETS Toolbox, calculations and references are presented through a clean, intuitive interface designed for both classroom instruction and field use. Clear layouts, guided inputs, and visual structure make complex explosives engineering concepts easy to follow, review, and explain—whether you are teaching, planning, or documenting work.
By looking inside, you’ll see how PETS Toolbox turns technical calculations into understandable, transparent workflows, helping users move confidently from inputs to defensible results without unnecessary complexity.
(3 Steps)
From the Toolbox menu, choose the calculator you need (e.g., American table of Distances,Stemming, Scaled Distance, Charge per Hole, Vibration or make explosive inventory of your magazine).
(3 Steps)
Provide the required values (hole diameter, depth, explosive density, distance, etc.). Make sure to double-check units (Imperial vs Metric).
Read the calculated values and check for warnings. These indicate when results fall outside safe or recommended ranges.
