Heat, specific tetryl

The specific heat of tetryl is as follows (C. A. Taylor and Rinkenbach [24]) ... 

Belayev and Matyushko [25] give 0.225 as the specific heat of tetryl. 

Specific Work(Travail Specifique, in French). Me dard(Ref 9,p 51) report-124 vs 100 for PA and Desseigne(Ref 10,p 263) gave 126 s 100 for PA and 114 for tetryl Stability, Thermal. When detnd by the 75° International Heat Test, described in USBur Mines Bull 96(1916)—no loss of wt in 48 hrs. When the temp was raised to 120°, red fumes (nitrogen oxides) appeared in 4 hrsfRef 4, p 1388) (See also Ref 8a)... 

Differential scanning calorimetric methods are applied for the determination of heat of fusion, purity, specific heat and activation energy of decompn for undiluted, unmixed samples of TNT, TNB, Tetryl, RDX, HMX and PETN (Ref 28). The differential thermal analysis thermo-... 

According to Ingraham [19b], tetranitroaniline has shown evidence of decomposition by the heat test at 65.5°C when only a small amount of moisture was pie-sent. The main product of decompositions was II. Prolonged heating at 75°C results in loss of a nitro group. At 120°C decomposition takes place which proceeds in a way similar to that of tetryl. The initiation temperature is 231-233°C. The specific gravity of the product is 1.867 [19],...
