Thermal decompn of Tetryl was examined by Rogers (quoted in Ref 56) via DTA (differential thermal analysis) and thermal conductivity measurements. His results are shown in Fig 3. In the particular sample examined, melting started at 128° and rapid decompn at about 198°... 

In a more recent study (Ref 16), Merzhanov s school used high dilution with inert materials to study the kinetics of exothermic reactions over a wider temp range than was previously feasible. Dilution prevents self-ignition of the studied sample and also minimizes temp gradients. The method used is an adaptation of DTA (differential thermal analysis) in which temp...
