Measurement of Pressure, Impulse, and Detonation Velocity for Detasheet L Explosive

Abstract

Tests were conducted to measure the impulse and pressure characteristics of Detasheet L explosive. Results of these tests show a maximum detonation velocity of 7.6 mm/micro sec, a minimum detonation thickness of 6 mils, a peak pressure in direct contact with silica phenolic (simulated by doped epoxy) of about 80 kbar, and a specific impulse of 755 plus or minus 15 taps/ mil.
