In the Trauzl lead block test (often called simply the lead block test) 10 grams of the explosive, wrapped in tinfoil and stemmed with sand, is exploded by means of an electric detonator in a cylindrical hole in the middle of a cylindrical block of lead, and the enlargement of the cavity, measured by pouring in water from a graduate and corrected for the enlargement which is ascribable to the detonator alone, is reported. For the standard test, the blocks are cast from chemically pure lead, 200 mm. in height and 200 mm. in diameter, with a central hole made by the mold, 125 mm. deep and 25 mm. in diameter The test is...

Propylene glycol dinitrate is a colorless liquid of characteristic aromatic odor, more volatile and less viscous than trimethylene glycol dinitrate with which it is isomeric. Its specific gravity (20°/4°) is 1.368 at 20°. It boils at 92° at 10 mm., and does not freeze at —20°. Its solubilities, gelatinizing power, and explosive properties are substantially the same as those of its isomer. Indeed, Naoum 60 reports that it gave exactly the same expansion as trimethylene glycol dinitrate in the Trauzl lead block test, namely, 540 cc. [Pg.234]
