These test methods and the number and complexity of the variables present is related to the level of sophistication of the test. The combination that can influence test data defines the test limitations. Variables are found not only in test methods, but also in other non-test-related areas affecting data generation. Examples include misinterpretation, misuse, or misapplication of the test or any of its integral parts (test setup, test procedure, reporting, etc.) contribute to their limitations (2 to 11, 64,208).

Transmission de la detonation d distance (Transmission of Detonation at a Distance), also known as Coefficient de self-excitation (Coefficient of Self-excitation) or Aptitude b tronsmettre lo ddtonation b distance (Capability, to Transmit the Detonation at a Distance). This test is known in the USA as Gap Test, Sympathetic Deto-notion Test or Detonation by Influence Test. The French modification of the test described by M dard (Ref 8, pp 342-44) was earlier described by Dutour (Ref 6). This test is described in Vol 3 of Encycl, p C3SX) as Coefficient de Self-excitation (CSE) and gap values for several expls at different densities are given...
