As examples of ballistic tests for explosives may be cited brisance, power, velocity of detonation tests, etc. Some of these tests are briefly described under Physical Tests, Vol 1, p VUrf, of this Encyclopedia, others will be described later.

For routine use by unskilled personnel, the best method of measuring velocities of detonation is one due to Dautriche. The principle is illustrated in Fig. 6.5. The two ends of a length of detonating fuse are inserted in the explosive under test at a known distance apart. The mid point of the piece Mark will appear here... [Pg.66]

Thus by measuring the distance of the mark on the lead plate from the mid point of the fuse the velocity of detonation of the explosive under test may be calculated. In practice, it is simple to construct a rule by which the velocity can be measured directly from the lead plate. [Pg.67]

Water wet HMX is added slowly to molten TNT, while continuing to stir it and to heat, until all the water is evapd. Aluminum powder is added and the mixture continued to be stirred until uniform and then cooled, with stirring, to obtain a slurry suitable for pouring into shells or bombs to serve as their bursting charges Refs 1) G.
