IDEAL DETONATION VELOCITY OF AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE AND ITS MIXTURES WITH H. E

Abstract

Detonation velocity measurements were made on AP/H.E. mixtures containing 20% of HMX, PETN, and TNETB. They indicated an oxidation-reduction reaction for AP/HMX only. The AP in the other two mixtures contributed to the detonation velocity, but the additivity rule does not seem applicable to mixtures of AP with organic H.E.
