Detonation rate pentaerythritol tetranitrate

Shoeiyaku. Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN), C(CH2ON02)4 mw 316.14, N 17.72% wh crysts, d 1.77, mp 141° Brisance by Plate Dent Test 129% TNT Explosion Temperature 225° (decomp in 5 secs) Impact Sensitivity BurMines-App, 2-kg Wt 17cm (vs 100+ for TNT) Power by Ballistic Mortar Test 145% TNT Rate of Detonation 8300m/sec (Ref 8, p 276). Pressed PETN was used in Army 7.7 12.7-mm Fuzeless Projectiles and 20-mm MG Projs. Also in Boosters. Its mixt with TNT is called Pentoriru (qv). PETN with 8.5% wax was used for loading 20-mm Shells. Its mixtures with RDX were used in 7.7 12.7-mm Projectiles. PETN was also used in Incendiary Mixtures (Ref 1, p 27 Ref 5, p 372)... [Pg.500]

The rate of detonation of PETN is 8500 m/sec. Results concerning the detonation rate of pentaerythritol tetranitrate at different loading densities are collected in Table 34. [Pg.185]
