A STUDY OF THE ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME EXPLOSIVES AND EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES

Abstract

The electrostatic spark-gap sensitivity test results for 14 explosives and explosive compositions are given. A comparison of these results with those of other investigators is shown for six secondary explosives. Lead azide/graphite conductive mixtures examined for reproducible functioning times are reported.
