Chemical explosives detonate, or deflagrate. Detonating explosives (e.g., TNT or dynamite) rapidly decompose to produce high pressure and a shock front (travels faster than the velocity of sound). Deflagrating explosives (e.g., black and smokeless powders) bum fast, prodr er...

Deflagrating explosive. An explosive which bums rapidly but does not detonate. 

On DSC examination it exhibits a large decomposition exotherm at 200-250°C, and is a sensitive detonating and deflagrating explosive. 

Deflagrating explosive A substance (e.g., propellant) that reacts by deflagration rather than detonation when ignited and used in a normal manner. 

If an explosive train is only required to ignite a main composition, an igniter that produces a flash instead of a detonation is used. Explosives of this kind are known as deflagrating explosives. Similar to detonators, igniters can be initiated by electrical means, friction, flash, or percussion. An example of an igniter is a squib, a small explosive device loaded with an explosive that deflagrates. Its output is primarily heat.8... 

Over several decades, extensive research has been undertaken on the fundamental theory and the mechanisms involved in detonation. Extensive information on this research is in the literature [10]. But of the three fundamental combustion phenomena — deflagration, explosion, and detonation — only detonation has not found exploitation in practical civilian or military applications to the extent that this phenomenon warrants. This is partly due to the fact that the science and technology involved is very complex due to the intense and fast energy release rates and their interaction with the confinement prescribed by the...

Development of deflagration is discussed in Vol 3 of Encycl, p D38-R-under "Deflagrating Explosives and Deflagration , and development of detonation from burning or from deflagration is discussed in this Vol under "Detonation (and Explosion), Development (Transition) from Burning (Combustion) or from Deflagration ... 

Explosives possessing velocities below ca 1000 m/sec are known as deflagrating explosives (See Vol 3, p D38-R), also known as burning or progressive explosives. To this class belongs BkPdr (See Vol 2, p B165-R), Nitrocelluloses (See Cellulose Nitrates in Vol 2, pClOO-L), smokeless propellants and... 

The above discussion dealt with application of shock tubes for inert media, but they can also be used for the study of high temperature reactions, as well as for deflagrations, explosions and detonations... 

Initiation of a military explosive (or propellant) to deflagration, explosion or detonation can be achieved either by ignition or by detonation. Ignition method is used for producing deflagration (See Vol 3, p D38-R)(Ref 48), such as in case of propellants and some low demolition explosives, while detonation method (See in this Vol,p D137ff) is used for...
