Detonable Materials

A detonable material, such as ammonium nitrate for example, dissociates extremely rapidly into its basic constituents.

 

This process is generally referred to in terms of "detonation velocity".

 

Does anyone have some ready information regarding what means are used to determine detonation velocity? Is it actually measured? I cannot imagine laying out a mile-long length of detonating cord and measuring its "disappearing time". imp

look of pipe bend test and plate dent test, that may help a little.
