Calibration For The Gap Test With A Pentolite Donor

Abstract

A second calibration of the gap test was made with a pentolite donor replacing the tetryl donor of the standardized test. The calibration consisted of measuring the attenuation of the shock velocity in a Plexiglas rod, and calculating the corresponding shock pressure as a function of gap distance.
