Hydro-transducers

Hauver concluded that pressure-time measurements with a sulfur transducer in contact with detonating Baratol gave clear evidence of an initial pressure spike, and lends addnl confirmation to the hydro-dynamic theory of deton proposed by von Neumann and others. The sulfur transducer appeared capable of good resolution over that portion of the pressure-time curve corresponding to the reaction zone, and may offer a method for investigating the reaction process Refs 1) S.
