Compendium of Nitromethane Data Relevant to the Tactical Explosive System (TEXS) Program

Abstract

A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted on nitromethane and hazards associated in its use. Each reference was reviewed and a summary provided. These summaries were grouped into the categories: Adiabatic compression, detonation, tests, change in properties, health hazards, and problems.
