The requirements of the US Armed Forces are described in Military Specification MIL A-166C (6 January 1975) entitled, Ammonium Picrate (Explosive D) It covers one grade of material, representing two classes with respect to granulation. Class 1 material (coarse) is intended for use in the press-loading of shells, while Class 2 (fine) is used for the manuf of Picratol and other compns. The requirements are as follows ... [Pg.755]

During World War II a mixture of TNT (48%) with ammonium picrate (52%) known as Picratol was employed to replace pure ammonium picrate (Explosive D) in the United States. This was a semi-fusible mixture cast into shells at a temperature above the melting point of TNT. After solidification the density of the mixture was 1.62. In accordance with the opinion prevailing in that country that ammonium picrate is an explosive with a low sensitiveness to impact, it was used for filling armour-piercing shells. [Pg.266]

Ammonium picrate (explosive D) is manufactured by the neutralization of a hot aqueous solution of picric acid (2,4,6-trinitrophenol) with aqueous ammonia. [Pg.58]

The heavy metal salts of picric acid are dangerously sensitive, and its major use is for the manufacture of ammonium picrate (Explosive D). [Pg.407]

Picrate Explosives.—A most important property of the salts of picric acid, especially ammonimn picrate, is their explosive character. They are used in the manufacture of certain smokeless powders, e.g. melinite and liddite. Picric acid itself is not explosive but the salts are exploded either by percussion or ignition. Picric acid is used as an antiseptic and alleviator in the case of burns. It precipitates organic bases and proteins and is used in this way as a test for proteins. [Pg.631]
