Picric acid power index

In order to calculate the power index of an explosive, its explosive power (as calculated above), is compared with the explosive power of a standard explosive (usually picric acid) that is, (Equation 1.16) ... 

Tablel.7 Power index values of some primary and secondary explosives (standard-picric acid).

The value for the explosive power is then compared with the explosive power of a standard explosive (picric acid) resulting in the power index, as shown in Equation 5.13, where data for <2(picric acid) and E(picricacid) are 3250 kJ kg 1 and 0.831 dm3 g 1, respectively. 

Table 5.14 The power index of some primary and secondary explosive substances taking picric acid as the standard...
